Why You’ll Love These Cookies
Picture this: soft, chewy cookies studded with gooey chocolate chunks and bursts of tangy raspberries. It’s like a party in your mouth! I stumbled upon this combo during one of my late-night baking experiments, and let me tell you, it was love at first bite.
Ingredients
Alright, let’s get down to business. Here’s what you’ll need:
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
Let’s Get Baking!
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. Now, in a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until they’re light and fluffy. This is where the magic begins!
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Your kitchen should be smelling amazing right about now.
5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Remember, we’re not making bread here – don’t overmix!
6. Gently fold in the chocolate chunks and raspberries. Try not to eat all the chocolate chunks before they make it into the dough (I know it’s tempting).
7. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Give them some space to spread – about 2 inches apart should do the trick.
8. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Your house will smell like heaven!
My Secret Tips
• Always use fresh raspberries. Trust me, it makes a world of difference.
• If you can resist, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. It helps the cookies keep their shape.
• Want to take it up a notch? Sprinkle a little sea salt on top before baking. It’s a game-changer!
