Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1 cup frozen raspberries (do not thaw)
Directions:
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes and is a crucial step for the perfect cookie texture.
Add the Wet Ingredients: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully mixed in before adding the next. Follow with the vanilla extract, ensuring all wet ingredients are well combined.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep your cookies tender.
Add the White Chocolate Chips: Fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Incorporate the Raspberries: Gently fold in the frozen raspberries. It’s important to handle the raspberries delicately to prevent them from breaking up too much and turning the dough pink.
Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers remain soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving Tips:
Enjoy Warm: For the best taste, serve these cookies warm, straight from the oven, or lightly reheated. The white chocolate chips will be gooey and the raspberries will be bursting with flavor.
Pairing Suggestions: These cookies pair wonderfully with a glass of cold milk, a cup of hot coffee, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
Presentation: For a special touch, plate these cookies on a decorative tray or stand. Garnish with a few fresh raspberries for an attractive presentation.
Storage Tips:
Cooling: Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before storing to prevent them from becoming soggy.
Airtight Container: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. This will help maintain their soft and chewy texture. They should stay fresh for up to 1 week.
Freezing: If you’d like to keep cookies for a longer period, you can freeze them. Place cooled cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer them to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
Freezing Dough: To enjoy freshly baked cookies anytime, you can freeze the cookie dough. Scoop dough balls onto a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. When ready to bake, bake from frozen, adding an extra 2-3 minutes to the baking time.
