Important Recipe Notes
- Add pink gel food coloring gradually to reach your desired shade. Too much can affect the texture slightly.
- Press the indentation gently while the cookies are still warm so you don’t crack them.
- Let cookies cool completely before adding the ganache to prevent it from melting.
- The ganache should be thick but still pipeable. If too runny, chill a few minutes; if too thick, stir in a tiny bit of cream.
- Use firm, ripe berries for the best presentation. Wash and dry them well to avoid soggy cookies.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble ganache and berries just before serving if possible.
- Cookies can be baked a day ahead and stored at room temperature; add ganache and berries the same day.
