The batter should hold together. Remove blade from the food processor and add chocolate pieces and cranberries. Fold to incorporate.

Recipe Notes
I tried using raw cacao powder instead of cocoa powder but they were very bitter, so if you do this I would suggest adding a sweetener. These cookies are not too sweet, they are rich and satisfying by only eating one at a time.
