Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (276g)
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2/3 cups white sugar (133g)
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar (100g)
- 3/4 cup butter, melted (168g)
- 1 whole egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Fruit
- 3/4 cup frozen raspberries (90g)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃) to prepare for baking the cookies evenly.
- Mix Sugars and Butter: In a large bowl, whisk together the white sugar, light brown sugar, and melted butter until combined and smooth.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the whole egg and egg yolk into the mixture, whisking well, then stir in the vanilla extract for the cookie’s signature flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder; then add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Avoid over mixing to keep cookies tender.
- Add Raspberries: Gently fold in the frozen raspberries, taking care not to break them and cause the dough to turn pink.
- Portion Dough: Using a 1.5-inch cookie scoop or about 1.5 tablespoons of dough, place cookie mounds on a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart for proper spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the cookie edges and bottoms are golden and set. The centers may still appear soft but will firm up as they cool.
- Cool and Set: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Enjoy these delicious vanilla raspberry cookies as a treat or dessert.
Notes
- Use frozen raspberries to prevent the dough from becoming too wet; do not thaw before folding in.
- Do not over mix the batter once flour is added to ensure tender cookies.
- Spacing cookies about 2 inches apart helps achieve even baking and prevents them from merging.
- Cooling cookies on the tray first helps them set without breaking.
- For extra flavor, you may add a pinch of cinnamon or almond extract, but keep in mind this will slightly change the original recipe profile.
