Ingredients
For the Cookie Base
- 14 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Adds richness and moisture; if using salted butter, reduce added salt.
- 1.75 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; swap for gluten-free flour for a different twist.
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda Acts as a leavening agent; can be substituted with baking powder if preferred.
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking Powder Enhances texture; optional if using just baking soda.
- 0.75 teaspoon Kosher Salt Brings out flavors; use fine salt, reducing to scant ½ teaspoon for a gentler taste.
- 0.5 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens cookies; can be adjusted for less sweetness.
- 1 cup Brown Sugar Provides moisture and caramel notes; light brown can be an alternative to dark brown.
For the Mix-ins
- 2 ounces White Chocolate Adds creamy goodness; opt for high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
- 1 cup Freeze-Dried Raspberries Offers vibrant raspberry flavor; fresh raspberries can be used with slight baking adjustments.
For Binding
- 1 Large Egg Binds ingredients together for a chewy texture.
- 1 Egg White Using two egg whites can lighten the texture if desired.
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Bean Paste or Pure Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor; substitute with an equal amount of pure vanilla extract if needed.
Instructions
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan, cook the unsalted butter over medium heat for about 5-8 minutes until it turns a lovely blondish brown. Set aside to cool.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt until well combined. Stir in the chopped white chocolate and freeze-dried raspberries.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the cooled butter, both sugars, the large egg, egg white, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Mix Everything Together: Gradually fold the dry mix into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
- Scoop and Chill: Portion out the dough onto a plate and cover. Refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper and flatten the chilled dough balls.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake until edges are slightly browned and centers look dry, about 12-15 minutes.
- Add Finishing Touches: Press extra white chocolate and raspberries into warm cookies as they cool.
Notes
Allow the dough to chill overnight for best flavor and texture.
