Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
- Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Fold in the fresh raspberries carefully to keep some whole.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until set around the edges but soft in the center.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optionally, dust cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
- Enjoy fresh or store in an airtight container for up to a week. They also freeze well.
Notes
- Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.
- Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can help maintain shape and enhance flavors.
- Feel free to experiment with additional mix-ins like nuts or different types of chocolate.
