Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg (50g)
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp (3g) baking soda
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
- 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips or chunks
- 3/4 cup (40g) freeze-dried raspberries, roughly crushed
- 1/4 cup (30g) fresh raspberries (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate small bowl.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula; stop as soon as no streaks of flour remain to avoid overworking the gluten.
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed freeze-dried raspberries, ensuring the berries are evenly distributed without breaking them into powder.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough (about 2 tbsp per cookie) onto the baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Allow the cookies to set on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
