Maybe it’s just a phase, but we can’t seem to get enough of raspberries– this is perfect for the list of cookie recipe ideas!

Although not your typical go-to when it comes to thinking of cookies, they provide a unique flavor that isn’t used in everyday baking.

These are also fantastic if you are feeling fancy, and want to add a bit of pizzazz to your meal. This combination of flavors truly is exquisite.

After trying out many different variations, we have settled on the best possible recipe to get the perfect taste and texture.

This post is all about white chocolate raspberry cookies and the best combination of ingredients to make them absolutely delicious.

Tips For This Recipe:

1. Use an electric stand mixer instead of a hand mixer!

If you were to use a hand mixer with regular whisk attachments, the dough would get stuck and the ingredients wouldn’t be able to incorporate. Instead, use an electric stand mixer with a paddle attachment.

Not only will this tool be useful for the first steps, but also once you add everything into one bowl. The dough becomes a thick consistency that makes a nice, chewy texture so a stand mixer can easily mix them together. 

If you are currently in the process of looking for a new stand mixer, these are great options:

This stand mixer is for beginner to intermediate bakers and is a really great tool for the price. It is also simple to use.

This KitchenAid mixer is definitely more expensive but is highly recommended if you see yourself using it a lot for other recipes. Not only is it super heavy-duty but KitchenAid mixers tend to last for a long time.

2. If you want to add a topping, add white chocolate chips.

As you will see, we put raspberries on top of the cookies. Although they tasted great, they had to be eaten right away because the raspberry juice seeped into the cookie and made it soggy.

Using white chocolate chips still adds a nice touch, without the possibility of the cookies breaking apart easily later on.

3. Equally space the cookie dough two inches apart.

We tried to make more room by squishing some of the cookies together, but instead, they ended up baking into each other. Depending on the size you make the cookie dough balls, you may need to use three cookie sheets.

This recipe makes a lot of cookie dough, so keep that in mind when preparing your cookie sheets.

4. Sift the brown sugar and granulated sugar.

More common in brown sugar but sometimes found in granulated sugar, it tends to clump up and stay like that when mixing it into the dough. 

To prevent large chunks of pure sugar in your cookie dough, sift through the sugar to ensure that it is heavenly broken up.

Not only for this recipe, but any other cookie recipe ideas you make in the future, it is always a good idea to check your sugar for any clumps.

Tools you will need:

Electric stand mixer with a paddle attachment

2 mixing bowls, one smaller and one larger (the larger one would be the bowl of the stand mixer)

These are a great option for mixing bowls, they are great quality for the price and have grip to hold on to while mixing.

We use these every day when trying out new recipes because they don’t break easily and they’re easy to wash!

measuring cups

3 baking/cookie sheets

parchment paper

1 spoon spatula

1 whisk

1 tablespoon cookie dough scooper

Here is a great option for a cookie dough scooper that holds one tablespoon. Most commonly they only hold a couple of teaspoons. This tool could also come in handy for any other time you bake your cookie recipe ideas!

And ingredients you will need:

2 cups of flour

1 teaspoon of baking soda

¾ teaspoon of salt

¾ cup of butter at room temperature

*If the butter is coming straight out of the fridge, put it into the microwave for about 15 seconds to get it to the right consistency.*

¾ cup of brown sugar

½ cup of granulated sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1 cup of white chocolate chips

12 oz of fresh raspberries (about 1 ½ cups)

*Make sure to wash and thoroughly dry the raspberries before adding them to the dough.*

After you’ve gotten all of your materials and ingredients out and prepped, you can move on to the steps it will take to create this delicious cookie!

Step 1:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Set out your three cookie/baking sheets and place parchment paper on each of them. Put them aside while you make the dough.

We used a convection oven for our recipe, so when you put your baking sheets into the oven, watch over them and add more time if needed. 

Step 2:

In a smaller bowl, add 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ¾ teaspoon of salt. Whisk together until everything is fully incorporated then set aside. 

Step 3:

In the stand mixer bowl, add ¾ cup of room-temperature butter, ¾ cup of brown sugar, and ½ cup of sugar. Connect to the electric mixer and set it to a medium-high speed until the texture of the ingredients is light and fluffy.

This should take about 3 minutes, but depending on the power of your mixer it could take more or less time.

Step 4:

Add an egg and a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the stand mixer bowl, and mix together on a medium-high speed. Continue to mix until the dough is smooth, this should take about 1 minute.

You may also have to use a spoon spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl in between mixing.

Step 5:

Gradually pour in the flour, baking soda, and salt mixture and change the stand mixer to a low speed. If the mixture continues to blow out of the bowl, add smaller amounts at a time or completely stop the mixing process to add in more.

At this step, you will need to turn off the mixer a couple of times to scrape the sides of the bowl, because with the thicker consistency the paddle tends to push the dough up and out. 

Step 6:

Separate the bowl from the electric mixer, and pour in 1 cup of white chocolate chips. Then fold those into the dough with a spoon spatula.

Then take your washed and dried raspberries and add them into the dough a half cup at a time. Fold these in as well. 

Once everything is folded in, scrape the sides and prepare to scoop them.

If you prefer less of a raspberry taste, then you can add less to the dough. However, you don’t need to make up for the smaller amount of raspberries with white chocolate chips.

The amount of a cup of white chocolate chips is fine, and because you are adding raspberries as well, the cookie dough needs enough room to incorporate both ingredients.

This means that you also won’t need as many raspberries, so instead of 12 ounces, you could use 8 ounces. 

Step 7:

Use your cookie dough scoop to scoop out tablespoon-sized sections of cookie dough and place them on the baking/cookie sheets with parchment paper. Each section should be about 2 inches away from each other.

Unless you use a smaller scooper, you will have more room for the last cookies on the third baking sheet. 

Step 8:

Put the cookie dough into the oven and let them bake for 9-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. After you pull them out, let them cool for 5 minutes. 

They can be put away in a container and do not need to be stored in the fridge. 

If you don’t plan on making them right away, you can put the cookie dough into the freezer for later use. 

Step 9:

Enjoy! These delicious cookies are perfect as we are heading into the fall season, but even if you make them during another time, you can still enjoy them.

Because this recipe makes so many, these cookies make a great gift to friends and neighbors, or to bring as a dessert to a party. And you can share them as cookie recipe ideas with others that try them!

They can stay in a container for about five days, then if there are any left, they need to be tossed out. 

Overall, this recipe is a simple recipe for beginners and the time it takes for the cookies to bake is just enough time to wash dishes and clean any used spaces.

The whole process is very efficient, so as long as you have the right ingredients, this recipe can be done fairly quickly. 

We hope you enjoy this recipe and make it many more times in the future!
