How To Make White Chocolate Cookies with Frozen Raspberries
These cookies are such a cinch to make! Follow these easy steps below for a freshly baked batch of white chocolate raspberry cookies:
Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Dough
Start by combining your dry cookie dough ingredients in a medium-sized bowl which is then to be set aside while you beat the butter and sugars in a stand mixer.
Add the eggs, vanilla and almond extracts to the creamed mixture, followed by the dry ingredients and beat till just combined. Remember, you don’t want to over beat your dry and wet ingredients otherwise you risk the cookies becoming dense and not rising as well as they should!
To complete your cookie dough, add in the white chocolate bars and chips and beat till they are well-dispersed throughout the dough.
Step 2: Chill the Cookie Dough
Once your cookie dough is made, cover the stand mixer bowl with plastic wrap to store in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
If you don’t have room in the refrigerator for a stand mixer bowl, simply wrap your cookie dough tightly in plastic wrap for the suggested chill time.
Step 3: Assemble the Cookies for Baking
Once your oven has preheated to 350?, remove the cookie dough from the fridge and toss in the frozen raspberries with the 1 Tablespoon of flour. Beat or stir the raspberries into the chilled dough and then scoop cookie dough balls (using a cookie scoop) onto two parchment paper lined baking trays or silicone baking mats.
Using the back of a spoon or measuring cup, flatten the cookies to about 1/2″ thickness.
Step 4: Bake the Cookies
Your cookies are now ready to be baked for 12 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden on the top.
How Long Do I Need To Bake The Cookies?
These cookies only need to be baked for about 12 minutes at 350?. Since ovens differ in heat, it’s a good idea to check on your cookies around the 12-minute mark and if they haven’t yet achieved a lightly golden top then bake them for a further 1-2 minutes, checking on them regularly to ensure that they don’t burn.
Can I Use Different Fruit?
Absolutely! In fact I’ve made a similar cookie recipe using cranberries in my Cranberry White Chocolate Cookies. Other fruits that you could consider using in this recipe include whole blueberries, chopped strawberries or grated apple!
How Do I Soften Butter Quickly?
We’re all human and sometimes it’s easy to forget things like allowing the butter to soften at room temperature before needing to whip up a batch of cookies, right?!
Now, if you’re thinking about using the microwave, don’t! It often results in melted butter which then won’t cream well with sugar and you’ll end up with dense cookies that spread out while baking…yikes!
Instead, here’s a super helpful trick that’ll get your hard butter softened in just 15 minutes:
- Boil water and then add it to a heatproof jug or bowl that’s large enough to be used as a dome over your stick of butter.
- Let the boiled water sit in your jug or bowl for about 5 minutes.
- Pour the water out and then place it over the stick of butter, creating a mini sauna effect.
- Allow 10-15 minutes to pass and you should end up with perfectly softened butter ready to be used in this cookie recipe!
How To Store Leftovers
These white chocolate raspberry cookies can be stored in an airtight container on your countertop for 4-5 days.
Can I Freeze Them?
Yes, you can! The shelf life of these delicious cookies can be extended by up to 3 months if you store them in the freezer. You can either store them in an airtight container, stacked with parchment paper between the layers or flash freeze them first and then transfer them to a Ziploc bag.
When ready to enjoy, allow your frozen cookies to thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then room temperature before serving.
