Can I use frozen raspberries for the filling?

Yes, you can use frozen raspberries, but ensure they are thawed and drained to avoid excess moisture, which could make the filling soggy.

How should I store the cookies?

Store the assembled cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. The pastry is best enjoyed fresh, so consider assembling them shortly before serving.

Can I make these cookies without mascarpone cheese?

While mascarpone adds richness, you can substitute it with a similar cream cheese or even a dairy-free alternative to achieve a lighter filling.

What other fruits can I use in place of raspberries?

Fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, or peaches can be used instead of raspberries. Just remember to adjust the sweetness if needed depending on the fruit.

Are these cookies suitable for gluten-free diets?

To make Raspberry Mille-Feuille Cookies gluten-free, use gluten-free puff pastry available at many grocery stores, making this a versatile dessert option.
