Why do raspberry cookies go green? ›

Do you remember the Lemon Cooler cookies from years ago? They came in a box and were totally addictive. Sunshine Biscuits distributed the original Lemon Coolers, but in the 1990's they merged with Keebler and the iconic lemon cookies disappeared from the grocery store shelves.

Using a kitchen timer will give you a ballpark amount of time for the cookies to be in the oven, but visual cues and an oven thermometer are the real MVPs. Our Take and Bake cookies should be cooked at 300 degrees for about 16 min, with a few extra minutes added if you're baking the cookies from a frozen state.

Cookie dough freezes well for up to 3 months, so it's a great way to get ahead for the holidays or other busy times.

“Prices reflect the current cost of cookies and the cost of providing high-quality Girl Scout programming and experiences in an ever-changing economic environment,” GSUSA's website says.

Room temperature: Use airtight containers, cookie jars, or plastic bags to prevent air exposure and moisture loss. Keep cookies in a cool, dry area. Refrigerated: Use airtight containers or sealed plastic bags to store cookies in the fridge. Monitor the moisture level to avoid condensation.

Sunshine food and snack products are now owned by Kellogg's, but the Sunshine brand is present on some of the company's most beloved crackers. Cheez-It snack crackers, Krispy saltines, and wheat wafers still bear the yellow Sunshine logo.

What is the secret ingredient to keep cookies soft? ›

Cornstarch Is The Secret To Soft And Chewy Cookies.

To extend the shelf life of products, many bakers use specially formulated enzymes for preservation. These naturally occurring protein compounds can keep baked goods soft while preventing crumbling and staling.

According to Sally's Baking Addiction, you should avoid freezing any cookie dough that is delicate or more liquid based. Think of macarons, pizzelles, madeleine, Florentine, and fortune cookie dough. These don't hold up well in the freezer, and even if you thaw them, they won't bake as well.

After baking, allow cookies to cool completely. Place them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to freeze them, then store them in a freezer-safe zip-top storage bag labeled with the name and date. Squeeze out extra air and place flat in the freezer. To save space, you can flat-stack freezer bags.

“Drop cookie” is a term applied to cookie recipes where bakers “drop” cookie dough from a spoon or cookie scoop onto a baking sheet, rather than roll it out or cut it into specific shapes.

The chlorogenic acid (chlorophyll) in sunflower seeds reacts with the baking soda/powder when baked, causing the green color when the cookies cool. This is completely harmless! Depending on the recipe, a splash of lemon juice may help.

What to do? The colour change occurs mainly when a recipe contains too much baking soda or if it lacks acidity. You can acidify the batter by adding a bit of lemon juice or lower the alkalinity by reducing the amount of baking soda or powder.

Why did my raspberry cookies turn blue? It's really interesting! This usually only happens if you have a very pink batter as a result of using frozen or mushy fruit. If a pink batter is baked on a sheet prepared with aluminum foil, the acid in the fruit reacts with the aluminum to turn the batter blue.

Many peanut butter cookie recipes (including ours) call for baking soda, which is alkaline. This combination caused the color to slowly appear, although the green cookies didn't taste any different. THE BOTTOM LINE: Sunflower butter may sometimes create a green color in baked goods.
