Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup brown sugar until light and fluffy. This step should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1½ cups (190g) of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies soft and tender.
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup of fresh raspberries and 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips (if using). Be gentle to avoid crushing the berries, but don’t worry if they break a little—it’ll add a nice swirl of color!
- Scoop the dough into small balls (about 1½ tablespoons) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should look slightly underbaked—this gives them a soft and chewy texture.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
