Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Mix-ins
- 3/4 cup raspberry jam
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, gently chopped
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use a mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create tender cookies.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasonings.
- Mix Dry into Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until incorporated to avoid overmixing and developing gluten.
- Fold in Mix-ins: Gently fold in the raspberry jam, chopped fresh raspberries, and white chocolate chips, taking care not to overwork the dough to keep the textures intact.
- Form Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 11 to 13 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden brown, signaling they are cooked through.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which prevents breaking.
Notes
- For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to reduce spreading.
- Freeze-dried raspberries can be substituted for fresh raspberries for a more intense berry flavor and less moisture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for optimal freshness.
