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
• 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
• 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
• 1/2 cup frozen raspberries

Instructions

1. Step 1: Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove, then let it cool for about 10 minutes.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 2 minutes until it turns into a paste-like consistency. Add the egg and vanilla bean paste, stirring until fully combined.
3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
4. Step 4: Carefully fold in the frozen raspberries and dark chocolate chunks, leaving streaks of raspberry throughout the dough.
5. Step 5: Use a 2 oz ice cream scoop to portion the dough, placing 6 scoops onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Step 6: Preheat the oven to 350℉. Bake the cookies for 12-13 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. The cookies should have golden edges with slightly soft centers.
7. Step 7: Immediately after baking, place a round cookie cutter slightly larger than the cookie over each warm cookie and gently swirl it to reshape.
8. Step 8: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations

• Use frozen raspberries to prevent excess moisture in the dough and maintain cookie shape.
• Swirling the cookie cutter while warm helps create a uniform shape and smooth edge.
• Substitute dark chocolate chunks with milk or white chocolate for a different flavor twist.
• For extra chewiness, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.

Storage

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To keep them fresh longer, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat briefly in the microwave or oven to soften before serving.

FAQs

Can I use fresh raspberries instead of frozen?

While fresh raspberries can be used, they may add extra moisture and cause the dough to spread more during baking. Frozen raspberries help maintain the dough’s texture better.

How do I prevent the cookies from spreading too much?

Make sure not to overmix the dough and keep the raspberries frozen until folding them in. Using a chilled cookie scoop or chilling the dough before baking can also help control spreading.
