Instructions
1. Cream Butter & Sugars
In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
2. Add Wet Ingredients
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
4. Fold in White Chocolate & Raspberries
Gently fold in the white chocolate and raspberries.
If using fresh raspberries, fold very gently to avoid excess juice.
5. Chill the Dough
Cover and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. This helps prevent spreading and improves flavor.
6. Bake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and place 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set and centers look slightly soft.
7. Cool
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
