Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed for richer color)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips or chunks (60-70% cacao)
- 1 cup fresh raspberries, gently rinsed and patted dry
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips or chunks. Then, very carefully fold in the fresh raspberries. Try not to break them up too much.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft. They will continue to set as they cool.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, use fresh raspberries as frozen ones can release too much moisture. If using frozen, do not thaw; fold them in quickly and bake immediately. For an extra gourmet touch, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt flakes on top of the cookies right after they come out of the oven. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
