Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries, gently mashed

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Bring unsalted butter to room temperature, gently mash fresh raspberries and set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a stand or hand mixer, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until fluffy and pale, which is essential for achieving the soft and chewy texture.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined, adding moisture and enhancing the cookie’s flavor.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually blend the dry mix into the wet ingredients to form the dough, taking care not to overmix.
  5. Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold the mashed fresh raspberries into the dough, distributing evenly without breaking them down too much.
  6. Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough balls evenly spaced onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish setting with perfect chewiness.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid toughness; overworking activates gluten.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking improves texture and flavor.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for smooth combining and even baking.
  • Handle raspberries gently to keep their structure and prevent sogginess.
  • Watch baking time closely to keep the centers moist and chewy.
