Frequently Asked Questions

Why use frozen raspberries instead of fresh? Frozen raspberries are easier to chop and fold without turning the entire dough pink. They create those beautiful "pockets" of jam-like flavor.
How do I get that perfect "lemonade" flavor? The secret is rubbing the zest into the sugar first. This releases the lemon oils, ensuring every crumb tastes like Summer Flavor Cookies.
Can I substitute the egg yolk? The yolk provides the chewy, rich texture. For a vegan version, you might need a specific commercial egg replacer to maintain the structure.
