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.
