Frequently asked
My wells filled in while baking \u2014 why?+
The dough was too warm; chill the shaped cookies for 15 minutes before filling and baking.
Can I use gluten-free flour?+
A 1-to-1 gluten-free blend works with the almond flour here; the texture stays pleasantly short.
Other jams?+
Any thick jam works \u2014 fig and blackberry are both excellent.
