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: Melt the butter using a microwave or stovetop method and let it cool slightly for about 10 minutes so it’s warm but not hot enough to cook the eggs or melt the sugar.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter with the white granulated sugar and brown sugar. Whisk vigorously for 2 minutes until the mixture becomes thick and paste-like. Next, add the egg and vanilla bean paste, stirring until everything is fully incorporated and smooth.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients while stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to over mix; you should stop as soon as the flour is incorporated to maintain a tender, chewy cookie texture.
- Fold in Add-ins: Carefully fold in the frozen raspberries and dark chocolate chunks, trying not to break up the raspberries too much in order to retain distinct streaks of fruit in the dough.
- Shape Cookies: Use a 2 oz ice cream scoop to portion out the cookie dough evenly. Place 6 dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced evenly apart.
- Preheat and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 12-13 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking for even cooking. The cookies are done when the edges are golden brown but the centres remain slightly soft.
- Reshape Cookies: Immediately after removing from the oven, place a round cookie cutter slightly larger than the cookies over each one and gently swirl in a circular motion to refine their shape while still warm.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely for the best texture.
Notes
- Using frozen raspberries helps maintain their shape and prevents the dough from becoming soggy.
- Do not over mix the dough once the flour has been added to avoid tough cookies.
- Reshaping the cookies immediately after baking gives them a uniform, professional look.
- If you prefer, substitute dark chocolate chunks with semi-sweet or milk chocolate based on your taste preference.
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 1 month.
