4️⃣ Assemble Cookies
- Scoop ~1–2 tbsp of cookie dough onto baking sheet. Flatten slightly.
- Make a small indentation in the center of each cookie.

🌟 Tips
- Frozen raspberries: Thaw and drain excess liquid before using to prevent soggy cookies.
- Extra flavor: Add a teaspoon of almond extract to the cookie dough.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
If you want, I can also give a mini cupcake version of these cookies, like “raspberry crumble bites,” perfect for parties or snacks.
