These Raspberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies are a tasty treat! The sweet juicy raspberries mix perfectly with creamy white chocolate bits. Each bite is simply delightful.
I love how the fruity flavor pops in these cookies. They are great for sharing or just for grabbing one (or two) for yourself. Trust me, you won’t want to stop at just one! 🍪❤️
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Flour: All-purpose flour is perfect for cookies, giving them a nice structure. If you’re gluten-free, you can use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend as a substitute.
Butter: Unsalted butter is my go-to because it allows you to control the salt level. If you need a dairy-free option, you can substitute with coconut oil or a plant-based butter.
White Chocolate Chips: They add a creamy sweetness. If you want a different flavor, try milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips instead. If you’re looking for a healthier option, use chopped nuts or dried fruits.
Raspberries: Fresh raspberries are best for their juicy flavor. If you can’t find fresh ones, frozen raspberries work but may slightly alter the texture. Just toss them in without thawing to prevent excess moisture.
How Can I Avoid Crushing the Raspberries?
When adding raspberries, it’s important to keep them intact but still mix them into the dough. Here’s how:
- Add raspberries gently, using a spatula to fold them in, rather than stirring vigorously.
- Try using your hands to carefully place raspberries in the dough if you prefer.
- Keeping them chilled until ready to bake can help them hold their shape better as well.
What’s the Best Way to Bake These Cookies for Perfect Texture?
Getting the texture just right is all about baking time and dough spacing:
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes. Watch closely for golden edges, and remember that they’ll continue to cook a bit out of the oven.
- Spacing the dough about 2 inches apart allows the cookies to spread evenly without sticking together.
- If you prefer softer cookies, slightly underbake them; they’ll firm up as they cool.

Raspberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup fresh raspberries, gently pressed or roughly chopped (to avoid breaking too much)
How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 15 minutes for prep and 10-12 minutes for baking. Once you count in cooling time, you’ll be ready to enjoy these scrumptious cookies in about 30 minutes!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s heating up, line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. This helps to evenly distribute the baking soda. Once mixed, set it aside for later.
3. Combine the Butters and Sugars:
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir well until it’s smooth and creamy. This is where the delicious flavor starts!
4. Add Egg and Vanilla:
Crack in the egg and pour in the vanilla extract. Mix until everything is incorporated and looking good.
5. Blend in Dry Ingredients:
Now, gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until everything is just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
6. Fold in Chocolate Chips and Raspberries:
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and raspberries, taking special care not to crush them too much. We want those lovely raspberry pieces to show up in every bite!
7. Scoop the Dough:
Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Make sure to leave about 2 inches between each mound, as they will spread while baking.
8. Bake your Cookies:
Pop the trays into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look a bit soft. This helps keep your cookies chewy!
9. Cool Down:
Once baked, take them out of the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. This allows them to set before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Enjoy!
Your tender and flavorful Raspberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies are ready to be enjoyed! Pair them with a glass of milk or your favorite warm drink for the ultimate treat!
Can I Use Frozen Raspberries Instead of Fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen raspberries! Just make sure to add them directly from the freezer without thawing to reduce excess moisture. This helps maintain the cookie’s texture.
Can I Make These Cookies Gluten-Free?
Absolutely! Substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Just make sure the blend contains xanthan gum or add it separately for better texture.
How Should I Store Leftover Cookies?
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them for up to 2 months. Just let them thaw at room temperature when you’re ready to enjoy!
Can I Use Different Types of Chips?
Yes, feel free to mix it up! You can substitute white chocolate chips with milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips for a different flavor. You can also try using butterscotch or peanut butter chips for a fun twist!
