FAQ
Q: Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes! You can refrigerate the dough for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to 2 months.
Q: Why do my cookies spread too much?
Make sure your butter isn’t too soft, and chill the dough for 20 minutes before baking to help the cookies hold their shape.
Q: Can I skip the glaze?
Of course — the cookies are delicious with just the raspberry jam, but the lemon glaze adds a bright, tangy finish.
