Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together your all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together your softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar on medium speed until light, fluffy, and pale in color, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix only until just combined and a soft dough forms.
  6. Gently fold in the raspberries, being careful not to crush them.
  7. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator for best results.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Nutrition

Keywords: Toss fresh or lightly frozen raspberries with about 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour before folding them into the dough to absorb excess moisture. For added flavor, consider folding in a teaspoon of lemon zest or half a cup of white chocolate chips.
