OPTIONS….the same friend who gave me the feedback on using other
flavorings also did the following…..In the ones she used the raspberry
flavoring in she added a little red food coloring to the dough it didn’t
color completely but came our marbled looking…..She also made an
indention in the top of the ones with the vanilla extract before cooking
and filled some of the indentions with SF raspberry jam & some with SF
peach jam – then cooked as per instructions….I see no reason why you
couldn’t use any flavor sugar free jam or use other flavorings/extracts…
