 I tried a recipe from Half Baked Harvest; Brown Butter Raspberry White Chocolate cookies. Our son-in-law to be loves anything with white chocolate and  raspberries. I've never been a hugs fan of white "chocolate" but he is such a great help to us - I like to keep him happy. The flavour profile was great - browned butter and raspberries, yum. The recipe needs tweaking; I flattened the cookie balls a bit and then slammed them on the counter after baking but they remained a bit puffy. Worth experimenting with for sure. Before baking:

Fig and blackberry cake, this was made with whole small figs that were just perfect for a cake.  Blackberries were also in the cake and they were complementary to each other.  The batter was a bit of a cobbled together one and included a cup of almond flour.
