White Chocolate Raspberry Cookies
White Chocolate Raspberry Cookies offer a soft, buttery texture featuring freeze-dried raspberries and white chocolate chips mixed into a tender dough. The raspberries provide a concentrated fruity note without adding moisture, allowing the cookies to hold their shape and avoid sogginess. These cookies combine tart and sweet flavors with a light crumb that holds well over several days or when frozen.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter (slightly softened)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (reduce to 1/4 teaspoon if using salted butter)
- 2/3 cup freeze dried raspberries
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks or bars
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 385 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, add butter, brown sugar, and sugar and cream together for 4 minutes or until fluffy. Fold in egg and vanilla and mix for 1 minute longer.
- Fold in flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Do not overmix as it will create too much gluten.
- Fold in freeze dried raspberries and white chocolate. Don't overmix or it will break up the raspberries too much.
- Use a cookie scoop or a spoon and scoop the cookie dough into about 2 1/2-ounce balls. Drop on a parchment paper lined, light colored baking sheet.
- Bake for about 9 minutes. Remove from the oven and to make the cookies look more gourmet, carefully press more freeze dried raspberries and white chocolate onto the tops of the cookies.
- Store in an airtight container for several days. If you desire to freeze the cookies, place in a freezer-safe Ziploc gallon sized bag.
Notes
- Freeze-dried raspberries are preferred to avoid excess moisture and soggy cookies.
- If using fresh raspberries, add 3 tablespoons of extra flour to maintain dough consistency; expect a cakier texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for several days or freeze in a gallon-sized freezer bag.
