Raspberry Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies skip the whole chilling step but still come out soft and chewy with pockets of melted chocolate and tart raspberry bursts. The frozen berries hold their shape better than fresh ones and don’t bleed as much color into the dough.

Ingredients (~28 cookies)

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

Melt the Butter and Let It Cool

Melt 1 cup of butter in the microwave or on the stove; allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes.

The butter needs to be cool enough that it won’t scramble the eggs when you mix everything together.

Combine Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the cooled melted butter, 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Whisk for ~2 minutes until the mixture turns into a paste-like consistency.

Add both eggs and 2 tsp vanilla bean paste; stir until fully incorporated.

The mixture should look smooth and glossy at this point.

Mix in Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp salt.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Don’t overmix the dough – you want it to just come together.

Fold in Raspberries and Chocolate

Gently fold in 1 cup frozen raspberries and 2 cups chocolate chunks.

Make sure not to overmix; you should have streaks of raspberries throughout the cookie dough rather than everything being evenly distributed.

The frozen berries will start to break down slightly, which creates those nice color streaks.

Shape and Bake the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350F.

Use a 2 oz ice cream scoop to portion the cookie dough; place 6 cookie dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each one.

Bake for ~12-13 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. The cookies will have golden brown edges with slightly soft centers.

If you want perfectly round cookies, place a round cookie cutter slightly larger than each cookie over the warm cookies right after baking and gently swirl in a circular motion to reshape.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for ~5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
