How do you use dried raisins or cranberries from your storage in cookies or cakes?

Since raisins and dried cranberries will be exposed to drying heat when baked into cookie dough, you need to soak them for a few minutes in some boiling water to soften them. Drain them, and add them to your recipe. During the baking, they will lose most of the extra water and become nice, plump bites of sweet, fruity goodness.
