Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt

How to Make Raspberry White Chocolate Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips and fresh raspberries gently to avoid breaking the berries.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cookies for a beautiful finish.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Don’t overmix the cookie dough to maintain a tender texture.
- If using frozen raspberries, reduce the baking time slightly to prevent excess moisture.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before drizzling with chocolate for a neater appearance.
Easy Variations
- Substitute half of the white chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
- Add a teaspoon of almond extract for an extra layer of flavor.
- Mix in chopped nuts, like macadamia or pecans, for added crunch.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert experience.
- Freshly brewed coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon treat.
- A fruit salad for a refreshing contrast to the sweetness of the cookies.
