Helpful Tips

  1. Can I make the raspberry sauce ahead of time?
    1. You can certainly make the raspberry sauce a day or two before you make the cookies. After it has cooled to room temperature, you should store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use it. It will thicken in the refrigerator so if it gets lumpy or too thick you can warm it in the microwave or over low heat on the stove to get it runny again.
  2. Can I make the frosting ahead of time?
    1. The frosting can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator until the cookies are ready. Use the frosting within 3 days and bring it to room temperature before spreading or piping. You may need to re-whip the frosting if it hardens in the refrigerator.
