Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 3: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 6: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush the berries too much.
Step 7: Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden and the cookies are set.
Step 9: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations

For a burst of extra flavor, gently toss raspberries in a tablespoon of flour before folding them into the dough to prevent sinking.
Try using white chocolate chips or a mix of milk and dark chocolate for different taste profiles.
If fresh raspberries are unavailable, frozen raspberries can be used; just thaw and drain excess moisture before adding.
Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help the cookies hold their shape better.

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a sealed container for up to 2 months. To reheat, warm them briefly in the microwave or oven until soft and fresh.

FAQs

Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use frozen raspberries. Make sure to thaw and drain them well to minimize extra moisture in the dough, which can affect the texture of the cookies.

How do I prevent the raspberries from making the dough too wet?

Gently tossing the raspberries in a small amount of flour before folding them into the dough helps absorb excess moisture and prevents the cookies from becoming soggy.
