Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring just until combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped raspberries and chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking for enhanced flavors and less spreading. Experiment with different chocolate types or add nuts for a varied texture. A pinch of sea salt on top before baking can add an extra flavor boost.
