Bright red raspberries are embedded inside and around the edges, adding a pop of color. Large crystals of sugar or salt sprinkle the top, giving a sparkling texture on the surface.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) dark chocolate chunks
  • 3/4 cup (100g) fresh raspberries, washed and patted dry

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Step 4: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until a soft dough forms.
  6. Step 6: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chunks and fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush the raspberries too much.
  7. Step 7: Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Step 8: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look slightly underbaked—that’s perfect!
  9. Step 9: Let the cookies rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Tips & Variations

  • Use frozen raspberries if fresh are not available, but fold them in gently to minimize excess moisture.
  • Swap dark chocolate chunks for white chocolate or milk chocolate for a different flavor profile.
  • For extra crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans into the dough.
  • Make smaller cookies for bite-sized treats, adjusting baking time accordingly to avoid overbaking.

Storage

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze cookies in a sealed container for up to 1 month. To reheat, warm in a low oven or microwave for a few seconds to restore softness.

FAQs

Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh?

Yes, but be sure to thaw and drain them well, then fold in carefully to avoid adding too much moisture, which can affect the cookie texture.

Why do the cookie centers look underbaked?

The slightly underbaked centers keep the cookies soft and chewy once cooled. Baking until edges are golden ensures they’re properly cooked without drying out.

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup (150g) dark chocolate chunks
  • 3/4 cup (100g) fresh raspberries, washed and patted dry

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure the cookies bake evenly and don’t stick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later incorporation.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and creamy, which will help create tender cookies.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform in texture.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until a soft dough forms; avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Fold in Chocolate and Raspberries: Carefully fold in the dark chocolate chunks and fresh raspberries, taking care not to crush the raspberries too much to maintain their fresh texture and flavor.
  7. Portion Dough: Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls using a spoon or cookie scoop and place them on the prepared baking sheets spaced about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look a little underbaked, which ensures a soft, chewy texture once cooled.
  9. Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes after baking, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely and set.
