Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or freeze-dried raspberries (fresh for juicy bites, freeze-dried for a chewy texture)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips

Ingredient Highlights

  • Cocoa Powder: This gives the cookies their rich chocolate flavor and a deep, dark color.
  • Raspberries: Fresh raspberries provide bursts of juicy flavor, while freeze-dried ones add concentrated sweetness and chewiness.
  • Chocolate Chunks: Using chunks instead of chips creates gooey pockets of chocolate throughout the cookies.
  • Brown Sugar: Adds moisture and chewiness to the cookies.

Instructions

Prepare the Cookie Dough:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the Chocolate and Raspberries: Gently fold in the chocolate chunks and raspberries, being careful not to crush the raspberries too much.

Shape and Bake the Cookies:

  1. Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
  3. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
