ReplyDeleteComing over from Totally Tasty Tuesdays. These look wonderful. I love cookies, I love raspberries. What more can I say? I will be in big trouble if I make these and put them in my freezer. Every time I walk by my freezer mouth will want hand to get some. Hand will resist, mouth will insist. Mouth will win! Thanks for posting. I look forward to exploring your blog further.
