Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which helps create a tender cookie texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time to ensure even mixing. Stir in the pure vanilla extract for added flavor.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the cookies tough.
  6. Fold in Raspberries and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chopped fresh raspberries and semi-sweet chocolate chips to distribute them evenly without crushing the raspberries.
  7. Shape Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly browned and the centers are set.
  9. Cool Cookies: Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps them firm up.

Notes

  • Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and to avoid excess moisture that can come from frozen berries.
  • Do not overmix the dough after adding the flour to keep the cookies tender.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help control spreading if needed.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
