Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
How to Make Raspberry-Stuffed Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and well combined.
- Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Fold in the raspberries gently, being mindful not to crush them too much.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for the Best Results
- For softer cookies, avoid overbaking them.
- Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor, but frozen can work in a pinch—just be sure to drain excess liquid.
- Let your butter soften at room temperature for a smoother dough.
- If you want a sweeter cookie, feel free to add a bit more sugar.
Easy Variations
- Substitute raspberries with blueberries or chopped strawberries for a different fruity twist.
- Add white chocolate chips to the dough for a sweet contrast to the tart raspberries.
- For a nutty flavor, incorporate chopped walnuts or almonds into the cookie dough.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
- A cup of hot tea or coffee for a delightful afternoon treat.
- Fresh fruit salad for a light and refreshing side.
