Equipment
Method
Step 1: Prepare the Raspberries
- Gently rinse the raspberries and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside. Keeping them dry helps maintain the perfect cookie texture.
Step 2: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures the cocoa is evenly distributed for a rich chocolate flavor throughout the cookies.
Step 4: Cream Butter and Sugar
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and creamy. This step creates the base for soft, fudgy cookies.
Step 5: Add Egg and Vanilla
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
Step 6: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until a thick, chocolatey dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Step 7: Fold in Chocolate Chips
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
Step 8: Add Raspberries Carefully
- Lightly fold in the raspberries, being careful not to crush them too much. Some streaking is normal and adds a beautiful marbled look.
Step 9: Shape the Cookies
- Scoop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Step 10: Bake
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly soft.
Step 11: Cool
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
