Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Crumble Topping

  • 1/2 cup oats or chopped nuts (optional)
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, chilled and cubed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Butter and Sugars: Start by softening the unsalted butter, then cream it together with both granulated and brown sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy. This creates the rich, luscious base flavor and texture for your cookies.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agent and seasoning throughout the dough.
  3. Combine the Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter and sugar blend along with vanilla extract. Mix just until combined to maintain the tender texture of the dough.
  4. Fold in the Fresh Raspberries: Gently fold in fresh raspberries with care to avoid breaking them completely. These pockets of juicy tang add moist bursts that contrast beautifully with the buttery dough.
  5. Prepare the Crumble Topping: Mix oats or chopped nuts with a little flour, sugar, and butter to create a crumbly topping. This will add a delightful crunchy texture once baked.
  6. Assemble and Bake: Scoop out the cookie dough onto your baking tray, sprinkle with the crumble topping, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden brown around the edges and set in the center.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the best flavor and moisture.
  • Don’t overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies; mix just until ingredients are combined.
  • Chill your dough if time allows to prevent excessive spreading during baking.
  • Use parchment paper on your baking sheet to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  • Watch baking time closely; pull cookies when edges are golden but centers are still slightly soft for perfect chewiness.
