Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup salted butter, softened
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup raspberries, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened salted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix on low speed for about 2 minutes until the mixture becomes fluffy and well combined.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Slowly mix in the large egg and vanilla extract just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the dough tender.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Mix only until the ingredients just come together, taking care not to overmix as this can make the cookies tough.
- Fold in Mix-Ins: Fold in the white chocolate chips gently, then carefully fold in the chopped raspberries, stirring only a couple of times to prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Scoop Cookies: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, form dough balls approximately 1 ½ tablespoons each. Place them spaced a few inches apart on the prepared baking sheets, about 10 cookies per sheet.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the centers are cooked through and the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies carefully from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets. Once cooled, enjoy the fresh, fruity, and sweet cookies!
Notes
- For best texture, do not overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies.
- Handle the raspberries gently to keep them from crushing and turning the dough pink.
- If fresh raspberries are not available, frozen raspberries can be used but should be thawed and drained first to reduce moisture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- You can substitute white chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate chips for flavor variation.
