Notes

Aluminum free baking powder is super important for your cookies to turn out the correct color. There is a chemical reaction between the aluminum and the raspberries which turns the cookie dough a deathly blue gray color. The brand I used for baking powder was Argo. Even if I didn’t mind the color, now that I know others contain aluminum I will probably keep buying this brand!
