For the Cookie Base

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cream together the softened unsalted butter and ½ cup of sugar on medium speed for about 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add in the large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract; blend for about 1 minute until fully combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  • Gently fold in 1 tablespoon of fresh raspberries into the dough using a spatula.
  • Drop rounded portions of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake your cookies for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers remain soft.
  • Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

For best results, use fresh raspberries and ensure butter is softened for easy creaming. Space dough balls properly for optimal texture.
