The reason why the surface of cranberry sliced cookies is not smooth after baking is because the dough is soft when slicing, which makes it difficult to cut out a smooth cut surface.
The solution: Chill the dough in the refrigerator before slicing until the surface is slightly hardened and then cut, so that it is easier to cut smooth cuts.
