After that, transfer the flour to a bowl, add the apple purée, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix thoroughly until you have a smooth, uniform dough.

Next, grease a glass baking dish suitable for baking cookies and evenly distribute the dough into each compartment. If you have a mold similar to a Brazilian cheese bread (pão de queijo) pan with rectangular divisions, it will work perfectly.

If you don’t have this type of pan, shape the cookies to your desired size and place them on a standard glass baking dish, ensuring there’s space between each one.

Finally, top each cookie with two dried cranberries and bake in a preheated oven at 392°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and firm.
