Ever since I first made these cookies I’ve found myself wondering why no one ever told me what a wonderful combination raspberries and white chocolate is?!?!
Seriously, it’s so good and definitely a new favorite as far as sweets are concerned.
What you’ll love about this recipe
- It’s prepared with fresh raspberries! Many recipes for cookies with fruit call for freeze-dried or dehydrated fruit but not this one. Because why include freeze-dried raspberries when you could use fresh juicy ones? Using fresh berries is just as simple, fresher, tastier, and definitely prettier. I mean, just look at these cookies!
- It’s simple! This recipe is easy, straightforward, and quick. These drop cookies are essentially just white chocolate chip cookies with the addition of raspberries. That means that if you’ve ever made chocolate chip cookies, you’ve totally got this!
- It’s perfect for Valentine’s Day! I know there are all sorts of cutsey and/or elaborate Valentine’s dessert recipes out there to choose from but I urge you to consider these cookies. The bright pop of red from the raspberries and the white chocolate help them look the part and I guarantee you that anyone who pops one of these babies in their mouth is going to be feeling the love.
Ingredients (+ notes & substitutions)
- All-purpose flour
- Baking soda: For leavening.
- Kosher salt
- Unsalted butter: You may use salted butter if that is all you have but in that case, leave out the added salt. The butter does have to be softened to room temperature.
- Granulated sugar: For structure.
- Brown sugar: I typically opt for light brown sugar but dark brown is perfectly fine. The brown sugar gives the cookies a richer flavor and helps them retain moisture so they are nice and soft.
- Egg: The egg should be warmed to room temperature. To quickly warm it, you may place it in a bowl of warm, but not hot, tap water for about ten minutes.
- Vanilla extract
- White chocolate chips
- Fresh raspberries: One 16-ounce container is required. Make sure to rinse and thoroughly dry the raspberries before roughly chopping them.
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl with a handheld mixer or with a stand-up mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter with the light brown and granulated sugar for about two minutes until creamy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until just combined.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined then fold in the white chocolate chips followed by the raspberries. To keep the raspberries from breaking apart completely, it’s important that you mix them in as gently as possible.
6. Scoop approximately 1.5 tablespoons of dough and place it on the prepared baking sheets in rows about two inches apart. **I use a #40, medium cookie scoop. If you don’t have one and make cookies often, I highly suggest purchasing one. It comes in handy for non-cookie recipes as well. Look below under my product recommendations for the link to the one I use.
7. Bake for 9-10 minutes until the cookies are slightly browned around the edges then remove from the oven and allow them to rest on the pan for five minutes prior to transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Storage
These cookies will keep at room temperature in an airtight container for up to one day or in the refrigerator for up to one month.

Do you know if you can use seedless raspberry jam instead of fresh raspberries? Thanks!

I will bake these cookies for Valentine's Day. They are beautiful... and delicious. DO you think I could use wholegrain flour here?

Thanks! A 50/50 blend of all-purpose and whole grain flour should work. I wouldn't go any heavier on the whole grain flour as the cookies may end up too dense.
