Description
These soft and chewy cookies combine the richness of cheesecake with the sweetness of fresh raspberries, making for a delightful treat perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh raspberries, mashed
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sugar and beat until combined, then add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
- Gently fold in the mashed raspberries and white chocolate chips (if using).
- Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Mashed raspberries can make the dough slightly sticky; consider chilling the dough for easier handling.
- White chocolate chips are optional but add a touch of extra sweetness and texture.
