Description
White Chocolate Lemon Raspberry Cookies combine the tartness of fresh raspberries, the richness of white chocolate, and the brightness of lemon zest to create soft, chewy cookies with crisp edges and a refreshing, fruity flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh raspberries, gently washed and dried
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (3–5 minutes).
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold in lemon zest, lemon juice, raspberries, and white chocolate chips using a spatula.
- (Optional) Chill the dough for 30 minutes to prevent spreading.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop cookie dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, place on baking sheet with 2 inches of spacing.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overmix once you add the dry ingredients to avoid tough cookies.
- Chilling the dough helps control spreading and improves texture.
- Fold raspberries gently to avoid crushing them and staining the dough too much.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
