One of my favorite fruits (I have many!) is BERRIES.
As I was dreaming about spring and summer, berries came to mind.
Making those dreams into cookies has really brightened up this L.O.N.G winter.
Let's start with raspberries.
To get a more 3D look with the berries, roll together a short "log" with dough and then cut it in half.
Each half can be a berry with a domed front.
Once the cookies are baked, outline and flood the cookies with "raspberry color".
Give the base-coat about one hour to dry.
Then add oval "drupelets" (official name) of icing all over the cookie in haphazard rows.
Make sure they are not touching, since glaze will run together.
After 30 min of dry time, fill in the rest of the spots with more oval "drupelets".
Easy peasy......and oh, so yummy......both the cookie-form AND the real form. ;)
