Tips from our Bakers


This lemon cookie dough will showcase a variety of fresh
 fruit; mix and match the varieties of fruit as you like. Small
fruit, such as blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and
black raspberries can be used whole. Larger fruit, such as
strawberries, cherries, and peaches should be diced into
smaller pieces before using. Frozen fruit is not
recommended.

Baking gluten-free? Substitute an equal amount of King


 Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour in place of
all-purpose flour. Gently flatten the portioned cookie dough
on the baking sheet before baking, then bake as directed.
