Cranberry cookies are a delightful treat of Russian cuisine that combines tender dough with the bright tartness of fresh cranberries. This recipe has roots in traditional home baking, where special attention was paid to natural ingredients and harmony of flavors. The shortcrust pastry made from flour, margarine, and sour cream is soft and crumbly, while the cranberries add a refreshing fruity accent. These cookies are perfect for cozy tea gatherings and family get-togethers, and their simple preparation method makes them accessible even for novice cooks. They pair wonderfully with hot tea or coffee, creating an atmosphere of warmth and homeliness. Each bite is a balance of sweetness and tartness reminiscent of cool autumn evenings and traditional Russian treats.
