Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
- 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
Instructions
- Melt Butter: Melt the butter using the microwave or stovetop, then set aside to cool for about 10 minutes to avoid cooking the eggs during mixing.
- Mix Sugars and Butter: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for about 2 minutes until the mixture becomes paste-like and smooth. Add the egg and vanilla bean paste, stirring thoroughly until combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to prevent overmixing.
- Fold in Add-ins: Carefully fold in the frozen raspberries and dark chocolate chunks, ensuring not to overwork the dough so that you retain lovely raspberry streaks throughout.
- Shape Cookies: Using a 2 oz ice cream scoop, portion out the dough and place 6 balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced adequately for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 12 to 13 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through to ensure even baking. The cookies are done when edges are golden brown, and centers remain slightly soft.
- Reshape: Immediately after baking, use a round cookie cutter slightly larger than the cookie to gently swirl and reshape each warm cookie, enhancing its perfect round shape.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely and firm up.
Notes
- Allow the melted butter to cool before using to avoid cooking the egg in the dough.
- Do not overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added to maintain tender cookies.
- Using frozen raspberries helps keep their shape and prevents the dough from becoming too wet.
- Gently reshaping cookies after baking ensures an even, professional appearance.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
