Why measuring dried cranberries by cup goes wrong
Sweetened dried cranberries (Craisins are the dominant brand) weigh about 120 grams per cup. They have less natural sugar than raisins and are usually sweetened with cane sugar or fruit juice. The added sweetener affects baking spread — cookies with dried cranberries spread slightly more than the same recipe with raisins.
Practical tips for working with dried cranberries
Toss dried cranberries with a teaspoon of flour before folding into a batter or scone dough — the flour coating keeps them from clumping into one corner of the loaf during baking. The same trick works for blueberries, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips when you want even distribution.
Note from this ingredient's record: Sweetened. Tend to clump; toss with a teaspoon of flour before folding into batter so they distribute evenly.
