Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (135 g) dark or semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- ¾ cup (90 g) fresh raspberries
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (113 g or ½ stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line baking trays with parchment paper for effortless cookie removal.
- Creaming: Whip butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy, creating a smooth foundational base for the cookie dough.
- Wet Ingredients: Blend egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture, ensuring complete incorporation of liquid components.
- Dry Mixture: Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, thoroughly sifting to guarantee even distribution of leavening agents.
- Dough Formation: Merge dry ingredients with wet mixture, stirring minimally to maintain a tender cookie texture, then gently fold in chocolate chunks and raspberries, carefully distributing without crushing the delicate fruit.
- Portioning: Scoop uniform dough mounds using a tablespoon, placing them two inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Baking: Slide trays into preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, monitoring for golden-brown edges and slightly soft centers.
- Cooling: Allow cookies to rest on baking sheets for five minutes to stabilize structure, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling, ensuring optimal texture and flavor development.
Notes
- Prevent Berry Bleeding: Freeze raspberries briefly before adding to dough to minimize color bleeding and maintain distinct berry pockets.
- Control Moisture Balance: Pat raspberries dry with paper towel to reduce excess liquid that could make cookies soggy or alter texture.
- Handling Delicate Fruit: Use gentle folding technique when incorporating raspberries to prevent crushing and maintain berry integrity.
- Temperature Precision: Allow butter and eggs to reach room temperature for smoother mixing and better cookie consistency.
