1 cup fresh raspberries, chopped (or use frozen raspberries, thawed and drained)
1/4 cup milk (for added moisture)
1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional, for a citrusy touch)
Instructions
Prepare the Cookie Dough:
Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Add Dry Ingredients to Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Incorporate White Chocolate Chips: Stir in the white chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold in the chopped raspberries, being careful not to crush them too much.
Bake the Cookies:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Shape the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll into balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
