Ingredients

1 3/4 Cup 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 degrees F 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 for 1-2 minutes until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and continue beating for another minute.
Step 3: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped raspberries and white chocolate chips, leaving some visible on the surface if desired.
Step 4: Scoop the dough into large 1 1/2 inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.
Step 5: Bake on the center rack of your oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cookies turn golden around the edges. Remove from the oven and transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough to brighten the berry notes.
Use frozen raspberries if fresh aren’t available, but do not thaw them to avoid overly wet dough.
Press a few extra white chocolate chips or whole raspberries on top of the cookie dough balls before baking for a pretty presentation.

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To keep them soft, place a slice of bread in the container. For longer storage, freeze cookies in a sealed bag for up to 2 months. Reheat gently in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before serving to restore softness.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I substitute other berries for raspberries?

Yes, fresh blueberries or chopped strawberries work well as alternatives. Just be mindful of their moisture content to avoid soggy cookies.

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

Use firm, fresh raspberries and fold them gently into the dough. Avoid overmixing, and if using frozen berries, add them frozen to help maintain the dough’s texture.

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 and prepare baking sheets with cooking spray or parchment paper to prevent sticking. Set aside while you begin making the dough.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all purpose flour, baking soda, and baking powder using a spoon or whisk. Set this dry mixture aside for now.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate bowl, add the softened unsalted butter along with the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat them together for 1 to 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract into the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Continue beating for another minute until all ingredients are smoothly combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen the cookies.
Fold in Raspberries and White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the roughly chopped raspberries and white chocolate chips. It is fine if some pieces remain visible on the surface of the dough.
Shape Cookies: Scoop the cookie dough into large balls approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter to achieve a bakery-style thick cookie. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake Cookies: Bake in the center rack of the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes until the cookies turn golden and edges are set but centers remain soft.
Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the baking sheets and transfer to a cooling rack. Let them cool slightly before serving warm or store leftovers properly for freshness.

Notes

For best texture, use fresh raspberries and be gentle when folding them in to prevent too much juice from coloring the dough.
Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help reduce spreading if desired.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
If white chocolate chips are unavailable, white chocolate chunks or chopped bars can be used as a substitute.
Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and prevention of cookie sticking.
