Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
- 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
- Melt butter and cool: Melt the unsalted butter using either the microwave or stovetop and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes to ensure it doesn’t cook the eggs later.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cooled melted butter, light brown sugar, and white granulated sugar for 2 minutes until the mixture forms a thick, paste-like consistency. Add the room temperature egg and vanilla bean paste, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt.
- Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over mixing the dough to prevent tough cookies.
- Fold in raspberries and chocolate: Gently fold in the frozen raspberries and dark chocolate chunks, ensuring the raspberries remain somewhat intact and streaked through the dough without over mixing.
- Shape cookies: Use a 2-ounce ice cream scoop to portion out the cookie dough balls. Place 6 dough balls spaced evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 12 to 13 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through to ensure even baking. The cookies should have golden brown edges with slightly soft centers.
- Reshape cookies: Immediately after removing from the oven, place a round cookie cutter (slightly larger than the cookies) over each warm cookie and gently swirl it in a circular motion to reshape and even out the edges.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Do not over mix the dough to maintain a tender cookie texture.
- Using frozen raspberries helps prevent the dough from becoming too wet.
- Room temperature egg ensures better mixing and consistency.
- Reshaping the cookies immediately after baking gives them a uniform, attractive presentation.
- You can substitute chocolate chunks with chips if preferred.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
