The cookies have a rough texture with a creamy light beige dough base mixed with scattered bright red berry pieces and dark chocolate chunks. The cookies rest on a black wire cooling rack, which sits on a white marbled surface that adds a soft contrast.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter, softened (227g)
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed (150g)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (353g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen raspberries (210g)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  2. Step 2: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed until the mixture is light and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat again until fully combined, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix on low speed just until combined.
  5. Step 5: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chunks and frozen raspberries, taking care not to mash the raspberries too much.
  6. Step 6: Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
  7. Step 7: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations

  • For softer cookies, slightly underbake and let them finish setting on the baking sheet after removing from the oven.
  • Swap dark chocolate chunks for white chocolate or milk chocolate to change the flavor profile.
  • Use fresh raspberries instead of frozen, but be gentle to avoid breaking them during mixing.
  • If you prefer a sweeter cookie, increase the amount of brown sugar by 1/4 cup.

Storage

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. To keep them longer, freeze the baked cookies in a sealed container for up to 3 months. Reheat gently in a microwave or oven for a soft and warm treat.

How to Serve

The image shows many small round balls of cookie dough arranged in rows on light brown parchment paper. Each ball is made of a creamy pale dough mixed with bright red berry pieces and dark chocolate chunks, giving a speckled look of red, dark brown, and creamy off-white colors. The texture of the dough looks soft and slightly crumbly, with parts where berries and chocolate pieces stick out unevenly. The balls are close to each other but not touching, all roughly the same size and shape, on a smooth white marbled surface beneath the parchment paper. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use fresh raspberries instead of frozen?

Yes, fresh raspberries work well but handle them gently while mixing to prevent them from breaking apart and turning the dough too wet.

Will the raspberries make the cookies soggy?

Frozen raspberries can release moisture, but since they’re gently folded in and baked immediately, the cookies maintain a good texture. Avoid overmixing to prevent excessive raspberry juice.

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup salted butter, softened (227g)
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed (150g)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (353g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen raspberries (210g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the softened butter together with the light brown sugar and granulated sugar on medium speed until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. This step aerates the dough for a tender cookie.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is smooth and combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed to make sure everything is fully incorporated.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: On low speed, add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt into the wet mixture. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the dough, which can make cookies tough.
  5. Fold in Chocolate and Raspberries: Using a spatula or wooden spoon, carefully fold in the dark chocolate chunks and frozen raspberries, trying not to crush the raspberries too much to preserve their shape and flavor.
  6. Portion the Dough: Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to drop evenly sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading during baking.
  7. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly soft. This ensures a chewy texture.
  8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • If frozen raspberries are unavailable, fresh raspberries can be used but may increase moisture and affect cookie texture.
  • To prevent the dough from becoming too soft, avoid overmixing once the flour is added.
  • For a dairy-free variation, substitute butter with a plant-based margarine.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
