Inspired by yesterday's post about almond flavour I decided to make raspberry and almond flavour cookies. Hence the name battenberg biccies.
I used my basic cookie dough making it in two half quantities. I flavoured one half with natural almond and flavoured the other half with natural raspberry, which I also coloured pink. I divided each flavour into sixteen equal balls then pushed one ball of each flavour together then pressed them onto the baking tray.
The end result is not as pretty as it could be. I think it needs more pink colouring. Perhaps mixing the two doughs together would have produced a marbled effect, but the cookies inevitably will brown a little in the oven. However the proof of the pudding as they say!
Edited to add that these were approved by That Man, who doesn't like almond flavour (if it is artificial). They were also approved by That Boy. Handy Boy sadly didn't get to test them as The Boss (who is also his dad) approved of them so much that he ate them all before Handy Boy got back to the shop!
Enjoy
