Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 egg
- ½ cup (90g) dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup (60g) fresh or frozen raspberries (gently patted dry)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Creaming: Whip softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until achieving a light, fluffy texture that creates an airy foundation for the cookies.
- Binding Base: Blend egg and vanilla extract into the sugar mixture, creating a smooth, cohesive foundation that unifies all cookie components.
- Dry Ingredient Preparation: Sift flour, baking soda, and salt together, ensuring uniform distribution and preventing potential clumping.
- Dough Formation: Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, carefully incorporating ingredients to maintain a delicate dough consistency without overmixing.
- Flavor Integration: Delicately mix chocolate chips and raspberries throughout the dough, distributing them evenly while minimizing fruit damage.
- Chilling Process: Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes, allowing ingredients to meld and solidify, which enhances cookie structure and flavor development.
- Oven Preparation: Preheat oven to 350F (175C), line baking sheet with parchment paper, and portion dough into uniform rounds with adequate spacing.
- Baking Technique: Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges while maintaining a soft, slightly undercooked center that promises a tender texture.
- Cooling Protocol: Rest cookies on baking sheet for five minutes, then transfer to a wire rack, allowing complete cooling and flavor melding before serving.
Notes
- Prevent Raspberry Crushing: Handle raspberries gently during folding to maintain their structural integrity and prevent turning the dough into a mushy texture.
- Chill Dough Strategically: Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes to enhance cookie structure, allowing butter to solidify and flavors to intensify.
- Monitor Baking Carefully: Watch cookies closely during the 10-12 minute baking window, aiming for golden-brown edges while keeping the center soft and slightly underbaked.
- Accommodate Dietary Needs: Substitute ingredients like gluten-free flour for celiac-friendly version or use dairy-free chocolate chips and vegan butter for plant-based alternatives.
