Ingredients

What you'll need to make this Raspberry White Chocolate Cookies recipe:

½ cup of salted butter, softened to room temperature
¼ cup of granulated sugar
½ cup of light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
4-ounce baker’s bar of white chocolate, chopped
1 cup of frozen raspberries, chopped

Pro Tip

If you can’t find individual bags of frozen raspberries (they are often part of a mixed berry bag), you can buy fresh raspberries and spread them out onto a parchment-lined baking tray and place them in the freezer for two hours or up to overnight.

Give them a rough chop before transferring them into a freezer bag to store in the freezer until you are ready to use them.

Add Nuts: Mix in chopped almonds or pecans for extra crunch and a nutty flavor that complements the sweetness.
Use Almond Extract: Replace vanilla extract with almond extract for a subtle, nutty flavor enhancement.
Incorporate Citrus Zest: Add lemon or orange zest for a bright, tangy contrast to the sweetness of the cookies.

How to Make White Chocolate Raspberry Cookies

Follow along with our step-by-step instructions and pictures to bake the perfect white chocolate raspberry cookies. Check out our tips and tricks below for extra help and pro-level results.

Let’s get started and make something amazing together!

FIRST STEP: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

SECOND STEP: In a large bowl, using a handheld electric mixer on medium speed, cream together the softened salted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.

THIRD STEP: Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat again until fully combined.

FOURTH STEP: In a separate bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour and baking soda.

FIFTH STEP: Add half the flour mixture to the bowl of wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated, before mixing in the remaining dry ingredients.

Do not over mix. The batter will be thick.

SIXTH STEP: Add the chopped white chocolate baker’s bar and chopped frozen raspberries to the bowl of cookie dough.

Using a rubber spatula, carefully fold the white chocolate and raspberries into the batter. Be very careful not to mash the berries.

SEVENTH STEP: Using a 2-inch cookie scoop, place six of the white chocolate raspberry cookie dough balls onto each prepared baking sheet.

Leave two inches between each cookie dough ball.

Pro Tip

If you can only bake one tray of cookies at a time, place your second baking sheet of scooped cookies into the freezer while your first batch of cookies is baking.

You want your raspberries to stay as frozen as possible before baking. As the raspberries thaw, they release liquid into the cookie batter and will alter the final outcome of your cookies.

EIGHTH STEP: Place your baking sheets into the center of the oven and bake for 14 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the center has set.

Be sure to rotate the baking sheets halfway through baking if needed.

Pro Tip

Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your cookies at the lower end of the recommended baking time.

NINTH STEP: Allow the baked cookies to cool for ten minutes on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
