Raspberry Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Raspberry Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Raspberry Chocolate Chunk Cookies perfectly blend the tartness of fresh raspberries with rich semi-sweet chocolate chunks. These soft yet chewy cookies are made from simple pantry staples and fresh ingredients, ideal for any occasion from casual snacks to festive celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Main Flavor Additions

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Start by creaming together the softened unsalted butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture turns light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  3. Add raspberries and chocolate chunks: Carefully fold fresh raspberries and chocolate chunks into the dough, distributing them evenly while trying to keep the raspberries as intact as possible to prevent excess moisture.
  4. Portion and bake: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft.
  5. Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to fully cool. This helps them set perfectly while keeping their tender texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh raspberries, not frozen, to avoid soggy dough caused by excess moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter; gently fold ingredients to maintain a tender crumb and prevent tough cookies.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to enhance flavor and reduce spreading.
  • Choose quality chocolate chunks—larger chunks create melty pockets of chocolate that elevate each bite.
  • Watch baking time closely; slightly underbaked cookies stay soft and chewy once cooled.
