Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted

Optional Substitutions

  • For a gluten-free option: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • For a dairy-free option: Use dairy-free butter and white chocolate chips.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined, creating a smooth base for the cookies.
  3. Add Eggs and Flavorings: Beat in the eggs one at a time to maintain an even mixture, then stir in the lemon zest and vanilla extract to infuse the dough with bright citrus and vanilla fragrance.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the dough which can make the cookies tough.
  6. Fold in Raspberry Preserves: Gently fold the raspberry preserves into the dough just enough to create a pretty swirl effect without fully blending the preserves into the batter.
  7. Shape the Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden, ensuring the cookies are cooked through but still soft.
  9. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Drizzle White Chocolate: Once cooled, drizzle the melted white chocolate chips over the cookies to add a creamy, sweet finishing touch.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easier and more effective creaming with sugar.
  • Do not overmix the raspberry preserves into the dough; gentle folding yields the best swirl effect.
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes to promote even baking.
