Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Binding Ingredients:
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Arrange your oven rack in the middle position and preheat to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Grab a medium bowl and whisk together 2 ¼ cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and ½ tsp salt until fully blended.
- Using a stand mixer, cream 1 cup butter with ¾ cup granulated sugar and ¾ cup brown sugar for 3 minutes until the mixture looks light and fluffy.
- Add 2 eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, thoroughly mixing after each addition.
- Pour 2 tsp vanilla extract into the mixer and blend until completely incorporated.
- Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Switch to a spatula and gently fold 1 cup chocolate chips into the cookie dough.
- Carefully incorporate 1 cup fresh raspberries, taking care not to crush the delicate fruit.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies 2 inches apart.
- Place sheets in the 375°F oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until cookie edges turn golden brown and centers look set.
- Remove sheets from oven and allow cookies to rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Melt ½ cup white chocolate chips and drizzle over cooled cookies for decorative flair.
Notes
- Fresh raspberries can easily crush during mixing, so handle them gently and fold with a light touch to maintain their whole shape.
- Freeze raspberries for 15 minutes before adding to the dough to help them stay intact and prevent color bleeding.
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for smoother cookie dough that blends more evenly and creates a consistent texture.
- For a gluten-free version, swap all-purpose flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend to maintain the cookie’s soft texture.
