I tried the raspberry cookies of your “100 cookies” book and, although they tasted great, the bits of strawberry got very dark and brown. Is there any way to keep them pink? And should I wet the freeze dried raspberries first, for how long?, or use them straight from the bag, dried and stiff as they are? Freeze dried fruit is very expensive here and hard to find (which adds to the expense the cost of driving or of ordering online), so I’m hoping to get it right at the first try, in order not to waste any raspberries.

cookie consitancy is great white chocolate could be increased a bit. I added the red food coloring as instructed by the recipe and they look purple. My family rated them 85%. It just feels like something is missing.

Hi Sarah,

This recipe is now my favorite cookie! I have made it several times using 3 TBSP of powdered/pulverized raspberries to intensify the flavor. I also tried it with powdered freeze-dried strawberries, but prefer raspberries. The best tasting result was to increase the powdered/pulverized and use Ghirardelli white chocolate bar.

I’ve made this recipe several times. I used 2 TBSP of powdered freeze dried raspberries and now I use at least 3 TBSP to intensify the flavor a bit.

Hi! Freeze Dried fruit is different than frozen fruit! In freeze dried the moisture from the fruit has been removed from the fruit! It’s very concentrated and delicious! You can purchase it from Vancouver Freeze Dried,they have whole fruits, sliced, and the powder, just google! They use 10 pounds of fresh fruits to make 1 pound of powdered fruit! Hope this helps!

Hi Sarah,
Love your recipes and always look forward to trying new ones. In your instructions it says freeze dried powder and in the recipe it just freeze dried fruit.
I am in Canada, and i am not sure what difference freeze dried to just frozen berries is.
Is it a powder or frozen fruit for this recipe?
Thank you again for all the great recipes

can you please respond – someone else had asked, but it wasn’t answered.
Is the 2tbsp before or after pulverizing?

Sarah! i apologize for all of the messages, i just want to make sure they come out as good as yours! anyway! I made the raspberry and lemon version following your instructions, but I found my dough to be, VERY STICKY! so I added a little bit more flour when i added my mixings just so I could manage the dough easily. I think my dough was too warm because well its summer and well it’s like 80 degrees outside! so I rolled my dough into rough balls with a scoop by spooning the dough into the scoop and putting them into the freezer until I can bake.

Do you think they will bake alright and still taste fine? I really hope so!
