Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (90 g) fresh raspberries, lightly mashed
  • 3/4 cup (130 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Incorporate Raspberries and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mashed raspberries and chocolate chips. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the marbled effect of the raspberries.
  • Shape the Cookies: Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers still appear slightly soft. Avoid overbaking for a chewy texture.
  • Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Fresh raspberries work best for this recipe, but you can use frozen raspberries as well. Just make sure to thaw and drain them to avoid excess moisture.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a tablespoon of lemon zest to the dough.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days to keep them fresh.
