# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The tart raspberries cut through the sweet white chocolate in the most perfect way
  • Nobody ever guesses these are gluten-free until you tell them
02 -
  • Using frozen raspberries? Do not thaw them under any circumstances or you'll regret everything
  • Every gluten-free flour blend behaves differently, so if your first batch spreads too much, try chilling the dough for 30 minutes next time
03 -
  • Weigh your flour if you have a kitchen scale because gluten-free flour packs down differently than regular flour
  • The cookies might look slightly underdone when you pull them out, but they'll continue cooking on the hot baking sheet and that's exactly what gives you that soft texture
