Ingredients
Scale
Sugar Cookie Dough:
- 2 ½ cups (310g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ¼ cups (250g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Raspberry Swirl:
- ½ cup fresh raspberries (or thawed frozen)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Optional: ½ teaspoon lemon juice (to brighten flavor)
Instructions
- Step 1: Make the Raspberry Swirl – Mash the raspberries with sugar (and lemon juice, if using) in a small bowl. Stir until it forms a thick puree. Set aside.
- Step 2: Prepare the Cookie Dough – In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, and beat until well combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix until the dough forms.
- Step 3: Add the Raspberry Swirl – Gently fold the raspberry puree into the dough with a spatula. Do not overmix—you want a marbled effect with bright pink streaks throughout the dough.
- Step 4: Scoop and Bake – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them a few inches apart on the baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are just golden.
- Step 5: Cool and Serve – Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or cooled—they’re delicious either way.
