Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
1/4 cup white granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg (room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 cup dark chocolate chunks
1/2 cup frozen raspberries

Instructions

Step 1: Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove. Allow it to cool slightly, at least 20 minutes.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the cooled melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk for 2 minutes until the mixture turns into a paste-like consistency. Add the egg and vanilla bean paste, stirring until fully incorporated.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid over mixing the dough.
Step 4: Gently fold in the frozen raspberries and dark chocolate chunks. Do not over mix; the dough should have streaks of raspberries throughout.
Step 5: Use a 2 oz ice cream scoop to portion the cookie dough. Place 6 cookie dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 6: Preheat the oven to 350℉. Bake the cookies for 12-13 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Cookies should have golden brown edges and slightly soft centers.
Step 7: Optional: Immediately after baking, place a round cookie cutter (slightly larger than the cookie) over each warm cookie and gently swirl it in a circular motion to reshape for perfect rounds.
Step 8: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations

Use frozen raspberries instead of fresh to maintain shape and prevent excess moisture in the dough.
If you prefer, substitute dark chocolate chunks with chocolate chips or white chocolate for a different flavor.
For extra chewiness, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.

Storage

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze cookies in a sealed container for up to 2 months. To reheat, warm cookies in a 300℉ oven for 5 minutes to restore softness.

FAQs

Can I use fresh raspberries instead of frozen?

Fresh raspberries have higher moisture content and may make the dough soggy or cause the cookies to spread more. Frozen raspberries hold up better during baking and help maintain the dough’s texture.

Why is the dough sticky after adding raspberries?

The raspberries release moisture, which can make the dough stickier than usual. Handle the dough gently and chill it briefly if needed to make it easier to scoop.
