Repeat with the remaining dry ingredients until a loose dough comes together. Add in the food coloring and beat just until homogenous, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Using a 3/4-ounce scoop, make small mounds of dough on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with the crushed cranberries. Bake until the cookie tops are dry and slightly wrinkled, 12 to 14 minutes.
