these cookies that simply appear to soften proper in your tongue? Mushy
and light-weight and ethereal? These are these. The colour and the flavour come from
freeze-dried raspberries. That is proper; there’s not a drop of pink meals
coloring in these infants.

In case your Valentine is not loopy for chocolate (I hear these folks exist), these fairly
pink cookies are simply the ticket. ♥

Freeze-dried raspberries are dry, fully dry. No chewiness, no added
sugar. I fell in love with the strawberries and made these chocolate chip cookies with them a few weeks in the past.

The cookies and the whole course of have been so fairly, I couldn’t cease
taking photos. You may begin by making raspberry powder in your meals
processor.

That coloration!!!

Then, make the cookie dough.

Press the cookies barely with a juice glass and bake.

As soon as cooled, the cookies get a stunning raspberry frosting. Aren’t they so
fairly?

Should you like, add some crushed freeze-dried raspberries on high.
