Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
1/4 cup white granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg (room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 cup dark chocolate chunks
1/2 cup frozen raspberries

Instructions

Step 1: Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove. Allow it to cool slightly for at least 20 minutes before using.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the cooled melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk for 2 minutes until the mixture turns into a paste-like consistency. Add the egg and vanilla bean paste, stirring until fully combined.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid over mixing to keep the cookies tender.
Step 4: Gently fold in the frozen raspberries and dark chocolate chunks, mixing carefully to maintain streaks of raspberries throughout the dough.
Step 5: Use a 2-ounce ice cream scoop to portion the dough. Place 6 cookie dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Step 6: Preheat the oven to 350℉. Bake the cookies for 12-13 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking. Cookies should have golden edges with slightly soft centers.
Step 7: Immediately after baking, place a round cookie cutter slightly larger than the cookie over each warm cookie. Gently swirl it in a circular motion to reshape the cookies into perfect rounds. This step is optional but gives a polished look.
Step 8: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh raspberries if available, but add them gently to keep the dough from becoming too wet.
Substitute white chocolate chunks for a sweeter contrast with the tart raspberries.
Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help control spreading if you prefer thicker cookies.

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the baked cookies in a sealed container for up to 2 months. To reheat, warm them in a low oven (300℉) for 5 minutes or microwave briefly until soft.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use fresh raspberries instead of frozen?

Yes, fresh raspberries can be used, but they are more delicate and may release more juice, making the dough wetter. Fold them in carefully to maintain the dough’s texture.

Why do I need to let the butter cool before mixing?

Letting the melted butter cool prevents it from cooking the egg when combined, ensuring a smooth dough and proper texture for the cookies.

1/2 tsp kosher salt

Add-ins

1 cup dark chocolate chunks
1/2 cup frozen raspberries

Instructions

Melt the Butter: Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove, then allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes to avoid cooking the egg when mixed.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooled melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk for 2 minutes until the mixture turns paste-like. Add the egg and vanilla bean paste and stir until fully incorporated.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain tender cookies.
Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold in the frozen raspberries and dark chocolate chunks, ensuring not to overmix. The dough should have visible raspberry streaks.

Preheat and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 12-13 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through to ensure even baking. Cookies will have golden edges and soft centers.

Cool the Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure the melted butter is cooled before mixing to prevent cooking the egg.
Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender and soft.
Gently fold in frozen raspberries to keep their shape and prevent too much juice from leaking into the dough.
Use a cookie cutter right after baking for a professional, rounded look.
Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For softer cookies, slightly underbake and allow to finish cooking on the hot baking sheet.
