Bakery Style Raspberry White Chocolate Cookies Recipe - Recipe Image

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
8 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup raspberries (roughly chopped)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare baking sheets by spraying with cooking spray or lining with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then beat for another minute until fully combined.
Step 3: Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped raspberries and white chocolate chips. Don’t worry if they aren’t evenly distributed—some can be pressed on top of the dough balls.
Step 4: Roll the dough into large balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter for a bakery-style cookie. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them apart.
Step 5: Bake on the center rack for 10-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges. Remove from the oven and transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool slightly before enjoying.

Tips & Variations

Use frozen raspberries if fresh are not available; just thaw and drain excess moisture before mixing in to prevent soggy dough.
Press extra white chocolate chips or whole raspberries on top of each cookie dough ball before baking for a beautiful bakery look.
For a more intense vanilla flavor, try using vanilla bean paste instead of extract.

Storage

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to one week. To reheat, warm the cookies in a microwave for about 10-15 seconds or in a preheated oven at 300°F for 5 minutes to enjoy them soft and melty again.

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I substitute the raspberries with other berries?

Yes, you can replace raspberries with blueberries, chopped strawberries, or blackberries. Adjust the chopping size so they incorporate well into the dough without releasing too much juice.

How can I prevent the raspberries from making the dough too wet?

Gently pat the chopped raspberries dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and fold them in carefully. Using frozen and thawed berries that are well drained can also help keep the dough from becoming too moist.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

1 3/4 Cup All Purpose Flour
1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
1/4 Tsp Baking Powder

Wet Ingredients

8 Tbsp Unsalted Butter (Softened)
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar (Packed)
1/2 Cup Granulated White Sugar
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Egg

Add-ins

1/2 Cup White Chocolate Chips
1/2 Cup Raspberries (Roughly Chopped)

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line baking sheets with cooking spray or parchment paper to prevent sticking. Set aside while preparing the dough.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the leavening agents throughout the flour. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened unsalted butter with the brown sugar and granulated white sugar for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. This aerates the butter mixture and dissolves the sugars.
Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Continue mixing for another minute until fully incorporated and smooth.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined to form a soft dough. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Add Raspberries and White Chocolate: Gently fold in the roughly chopped raspberries and white chocolate chips. It’s okay if some berries or chips remain partly on top of the dough rather than fully mixed in, as this creates a more appealing texture.
Shape Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into large balls approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter to achieve a bakery-size cookie. Place the dough balls spaced apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake Cookies: Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack. Allow them to cool slightly to set before serving. Enjoy the cookies warm or store leftovers in an airtight container for freshness.

Notes

For best results, use fresh or frozen raspberries. If using frozen, thaw and drain excess moisture to prevent soggy cookies.
Press extra raspberries or white chocolate chips on top of the cookie dough balls before baking for a more decorative look.
To keep cookies soft, avoid overbaking; cookies continue to firm up as they cool.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
If you prefer a more pronounced raspberry flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough.
