Lemon Raspberry Cookies

So glad you enjoyed the flavour, Anna 😊 Hmm the darker colour may have happened if the freeze-dried raspberries were more exposed on the surface of the dough or a bit closer to the heat source. Some ideas that could help: try pressing a few raspberry pieces into the tops right after baking; lower the oven's rack if your oven's heat comes more from the top; fold in the raspberries a bit more so they’re less exposed while baking.

Can I also confirm your oven bakes without a fan on? We used just top-bottom heating (no fan). If the fan is on, it can make baked goods more prone to burning/cooking faster than intended.

Some ovens also just run a bit hotter, so if you already did all the above, it could just be a matter of dropping the cooking time by a couple minutes if you ever give this recipe another go. Hope this helps for your next batch 💗

Heyy Anaya! It’s a lovely question 🫶 we enjoy using freeze-dried berries because they add a concentrated flavour without extra moisture, so baked goods stay nice and chewy. Another option could be raspberry jam if you can’t find freeze-dried raspberries. For example, you could swirl a little into the dough or even into the centres before baking for a similar flavour and slightly softer cookie texture.

Alternatively, if you happen to have dried berries like dried cranberries, these can work too. Or even chopped dried mango or apricot. Hope this helps, and we’d love to hear what you end up trying ☺️

Mmm sounds lovely, Malou! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with this one 🍋
