How to Make Perfect Raspberry Cookies

Combine until fluffy: Combine butter, sugar, and lemon zest in a bowl and cream until light and fluffy.  Add vanilla and egg and combine. 

Mix in powdered ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, and salt. Slow mix into the butter mixture with a spatula until combined. 

Add raspberries: Fold in frozen raspberries gently. 

Create cookies: Place parchment paper on baking sheets and add cookie dough to the pan. 

Chill: Chill the baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes before baking them. 

Bake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. 

Finish and serve: Drizzle with melted white chocolate — this step is optional, but super tasty! Then, let the raspberry cookies cool completely before removing them from the baking sheet. 

Pro Tips For The Best Raspberry Cookies

• Don’t overmix. Only mix the cookie dough until it’s just combined, so they don’t end up dense. 
• Be gentle. When adding the raspberries, be gentle when folding them in. This will keep them intact and prevent the cookie dough from becoming red. 
• Don’t overbake. The cookies are done when the edges are slightly crispy and the centers are still soft. They will finish baking on the cookie sheet as they cool down. 
• Add mix-ins. Mix in some white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chunks, or chopped nuts.
• Bake chilled. Don’t skip freezing the cookie dough before baking or it will spread and become flat. 
• Freeze for later. You can freeze the cookie dough for up to 2 months before baking them. Keep them airtight until you are ready to bake. 

Frequently Asked Questions about Raspberry Cookies

How long do raspberry cookies last?

Store leftover white chocolate raspberry cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 7 days. 

Can you freeze cookies?

Yes, freeze the cookies using layers of parchment paper to prevent sticking. Place them in an airtight container, and they will last 2-3 months. 

Can I use fresh raspberries?

Yes, it’s fine to use fresh or frozen raspberries. Choose raspberries that are firm and remove any that are mushy. Mix the fresh raspberries with 2 teaspoons of flour so they are coated evenly. This will prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cookie batter. 

Is it okay to use different fruit?

Yep, you can swap the raspberries for strawberries, blackberries, or blueberries. Additionally, you can mix the fruits to make some fun flavor combinations!
