Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
- 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
- Melt the Butter: Melt the butter either in the microwave or on the stove, then let it cool slightly for about 10 minutes to avoid cooking the eggs in the next step.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk vigorously for 2 minutes until the mixture transforms into a smooth, paste-like consistency. Then add the egg and vanilla bean paste, stirring until thoroughly incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt.
- Form Dough: Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over mix to keep the cookies tender.
- Add Raspberry and Chocolate: Gently fold in the frozen raspberries and dark chocolate chunks, aiming to keep streaks of raspberry visible throughout the dough without overmixing.
- Scoop Dough: Use a 2-ounce ice cream scoop to portion six cookie dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them adequately for spreading.
- Preheat and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 12-13 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through to ensure even browning. The cookies should have golden brown edges and slightly soft centers.
- Reshape Cookies: Immediately after removing from the oven, use a round cookie cutter slightly larger than each cookie to gently swirl and reshape each warm cookie, maintaining a perfect round form.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes for stability, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Allow the melted butter to cool before mixing with eggs to prevent curdling or cooking the eggs prematurely.
- Handle the frozen raspberries gently to keep their shape and avoid turning the dough pink.
- Using a cookie cutter right after baking helps achieve uniform, professional-looking cookies.
- Do not overmix the dough to maintain a tender, soft texture in the cookies.
- The recipe yields 6 large cookies, but dough can be divided into smaller portions for more cookies.
