Description
These raspberry cookies are a delightful treat with a perfect balance of sweet and tart, featuring bursts of fresh raspberries and optional chocolate chips in a chewy, soft texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
- ½ cup white chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes).
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold in the raspberries and optional chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring raspberries remain whole.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop the dough onto prepared sheets, spacing cookies 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use thawed and drained frozen raspberries if fresh are not available.
- Do not overmix the dough after adding flour to maintain a tender texture.
- Chilling the dough prevents cookies from spreading too much during baking.
- Customize with nuts, dried fruits, or different chocolate varieties.
