Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
- 3/4 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg, vanilla, and red food coloring. Mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet mixture.
- Fold in chocolate chips. Gently fold in raspberries to avoid crushing them.
- Scoop dough onto baking sheet, spacing evenly. Press a few extra raspberries on top of each cookie if desired.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers are soft. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Use fresh raspberries for best results, but frozen (unthawed) can work in a pinch.
- Do not overmix the dough once raspberries are added to prevent them from breaking apart.
- Cookies will continue to set as they cool.
