These were amazing! Thank you! I baked them at 350F for 10 min after chilling for about 2 hours in the fridge.

These are delicious. I used a one tablespoon scoop and it made 58 cookies. (Cooked the same amount of time for the larger cookie.)

As many people have noted, 425 is simply (and inexplicably) too hot for these cookies. My first tray burnt, just as many many others have reported. In a cookbook group to which I belong, 0% of 10 people had success baking these at 425. My oven is calibrated and I use a thermometer to track temperature.

Recommend you bake a test cookie at 375 for 10 min and see how your oven performs. For me, 385 for 11 minutes was the sweet spot.

Hi Erin – I didn’t alter the dried cranberries in any way. The recipe is written as it is in Dorie’s book, and she calls for the moist, plump cranberries. I think she just wants you to make sure that your dried cranberries aren’t extra dried out (if they have been sitting on the shelf for awhile they can get hard) so that they don’t taste hard in the cookie.

Hi Sarah!
I wanted to know what type of cranberries you used? I’m just a little confused by the meaning of moist plump dried cranberries. I wanted to ask if you bought dried cranberries and sweetened or altered them in some way.

Hi Sarah,

I LOVE “RYE” – However, I have never used Dark Rye in baking. Was it an intense flavoring? Better yet, is the Medium Rye considered a light tasting? Not sure which to buy.

Thank you,
Millette

I too had issues with these getting very dark, almost burnt on the bottom. Not sure why. I had them on the middle rack and used the regular aluminum half sheet pan. I turned my oven down to 400 and baked for about 11/12 minutes. Any idea why the first one got soo dark? These are a more adult and not overly sweet cookie. We really enjoyed them.
