Cherry is a powerful flavor, sometimes. It can be acidic, sweet, dry, or downright molasses-y. Cherries can present a challenge when you want to decouple their textures - dried, frozen, fresh, preserved - from their flavors. Extract is okay for this, but it typically only provides a couple of the notes you need to mimic cherry.

Peanut Butter Boulders 🧡

The trendy resurgence of trashy flavors, in baking has been underway for many years. Cereal milk, reverence for the virtues of imitation vanilla, homemade twinkies, and other gourmet reimaginings of the mass-produced junk food sweets from the 30s to the 00s are great examples of this. There is one unabashedly fake flavor that this prestige-kitsch trend has overlooked, though. Banana.

Yellow Banana Pudding Cookies 💛

Matcha needs no help from dyes or colorants. If you are okay with its grassy earthy flavor, you will be blessed with a deep natural green that will stain the dough and the white chocolate chips unlike any artificial dye I have used. Color aside, the texture of these cookies is second to none.

Green Matcha Latte Boulders 💚

Blue raspberry is a flavor that is hard to nail down. Some people say it is simply raspberry flavor paired with blue dye to differentiate it from the other canonically red flavors like cinnamon, cherry, watermelon, fruit punch, and strawberry. Others claim it is entirely artificial and is so-named because it happened to taste of "Berry," in some non-specific way that demanded it be named as such, but not after any real berry you might encounter. Thus, the fictional blue raspberry.
