Table of Contents
If you’re looking for a sweet treat that will tantalize your taste buds, these white chocolate raspberry cookies are definitely for you! These cookies are soft and chewy, perfect to satisfy your cravings.
White Chocolate Raspberry Cookies Ingredients
White chocolate raspberry cookies are a tempting treat that combines the sweetness of white chocolate with the tanginess of raspberries.
The creamy white chocolate adds a satisfying richness that pairs well with the bright burst of juicy raspberry.
You’ll need:
- 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.
Substitutions And Additions
CHOCOLATE: Use a good quality white chocolate baker’s bar in this delicious cookie recipe.
You could also use three-quarters of a cup of good-quality white chocolate chips.
FRESH RASPBERRIES: While fresh raspberries are the star of the show, you can experiment with other berries if you’d like.
Blueberries, strawberries, or blackberries can be used as delicious alternatives.
Keep in mind that different berries may vary in sweetness, so adjust the sugar quantity accordingly to maintain the desired level of sweetness in your cookies.
NUTS: To add some crunch and extra flavor, chopped nuts like almonds, pecans, or walnuts can be mixed into the cookie dough along with the raspberries.
These additions provide a delightful contrast in texture and an earthy, nutty undertone to complement the sweetness of the white chocolate.
LEMON ZEST: For a zesty twist, consider adding lemon zest to the cookie dough.
Lemon and raspberry are a classic pairing, and the bright, citrusy notes from the zest can elevate the overall taste by providing a refreshing contrast to the chocolate.
How To Make This White Chocolate Raspberry Cookies Recipe
Whip up this easy cookie dough following our instructions below and be rewarded with these irresistible cookies.
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
STEP TWO: 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.
STEP THREE: Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat again until fully combined.
STEP FOUR: In a separate bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour and baking soda.
STEP FIVE: Add half the flour mixture to the bowl of wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated before mixing in the remaining dry ingredients.
Do not overmix. The batter will be thick.
STEP SIX: 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.
STEP SEVEN: 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.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
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.
STEP EIGHT: 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.
STEP NINE: Allow the baked cookies to cool for ten minutes on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
How To Serve
Enjoy these decadent, chewy cookies for an afternoon or evening snack when you would like a sweet treat.
Serve along with a warm mug of homemade hot chocolate or a pumpkin spice latte to wash the cookies down.
For something a little more indulgent, why not try a scoop of vanilla ice cream?

Storage
Let’s talk about how to store them to keep their irresistible flavors intact and enjoy them whenever your cookie cravings strike.
MAKE AHEAD: You can make the cookie dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to two to three days.
Simply wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container.
When you’re ready to bake, take it out, let it come to room temperature for about 15 minutes, then proceed with shaping and baking as usual.
IN THE FRIDGE: You can store these raspberry white chocolate cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
The raspberries in these cookies will start to make them soggy the longer they are stored.
IN THE FREEZER: Due to the delicate nature of the raspberries, I do not suggest freezing these white chocolate and raspberry cookies.
This is a small batch of 12 nice-sized cookies that do not require refrigeration of the dough, making them a quick and easy cookie to make.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Adding the raspberries to the cookie batter while still frozen will help keep the colors bleeding into the dough to a minimum, so it is best to avoid thawing them ahead of time.
We don’t recommend freezing these sweet cookies as the delicate nature of the raspberries may not freeze and then thaw well.
