Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup fresh raspberries, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture turns light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for the dough.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, to fully incorporate them into the mix, then stir in the pure vanilla extract for added flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning.
- Mix Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring gently just until combined to avoid overworking the dough, which could make cookies tough.
- Fold in Raspberries and Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the chopped fresh raspberries and semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed without breaking up the berries too much.
- Scoop Dough onto Baking Sheets: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to give the cookies room to spread while baking.
- Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are set.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps them set perfectly.
Notes
- Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and texture; frozen raspberries may add too much moisture.
- Be gentle when folding in the raspberries to prevent the dough from turning pink or overly wet.
- For softer cookies, slightly underbake and let them cool on the baking sheet.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chips with dark chocolate or white chocolate chips based on preference.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
