Common Questions
- → Why use special pans?
- The 4-inch tart pans or jumbo muffin tins help make that iconic big size and shape just like the warehouse store cookies.
- → Why avoid overmixing?
- Too much mixing creates gluten that makes cookies hard. Mix less for soft, flaky results.
- → Can these be frozen?
- Sure thing, pop them in the freezer for up to 2 months in a sealed container with parchment between each layer. Sprinkle sugar after they thaw.
- → Can I use different jam?
- Absolutely, swap in any fruit spread or preserves instead of the raspberry if you want.
- → Why chill part of the dough?
- Cooling the crumble topping helps it stay chunky and stops it from sinking into the jam while baking.
