How did we come to love white chocolate and raspberry cookies?

White chocolate gained popularity in the late 1930s when Nestle commercialized the confectionary delight and the love for the treat has not changed though the years. The light, buttery morsel pairs so well with the tart, fresh flavor of raspberries it was a perfect holiday cookie to make with the raspberries I got on sale yesterday. The recipe is so simple and delicious you will be making this recipe over and over again through the years!

How to make raspberry white chocolate cookies

First go ahead and preheat your oven to 350˚F. You will need an electric mixer to start creaming the butter, shortening and sugar. It is best if your butter is at room temperature before you start. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and continue to beat for about one more minute.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. You can start adding the flour mixture into the bowl of the electric mixer now. Do this slowly, about ½ cup at a time or you will make a big mess! Make sure you scrap down the sides and the bottom of the mixer bowl so everything is incorporated well.

Stir in your white chocolate chips with a wooden spoon or a spatula. It was easier to incorporate the raspberries after this step, because the raspberries are very fragile and I wanted to keep them as bigger pieces. You will want to add a few more chopped raspberries to the top of the cookies when you are mid-baking, so make sure you set aside about ¼ cup.

Using a cookie scoop, place batter on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. I added a couple chocolate chips on top of the scoops to make the cookies a bit more pretty. Bake in your preheated oven for a total of 10-12 minutes.

When the cookies have been in for about 4-5 minutes, pull out the rack of the oven carefully and add a few extra raspberry pieces. The cookies should be only about halfway spread when you add the raspberries. Do this quickly, and continue to bake for another 5-6 minutes.

Allow the cookies to cool for about 3-5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. The cookies need to cool before the set fully, and you don’t want to break them when you are transferring them. Also, allow them to cool fully before stacking them or you might have a few chips with crumbs stuck to them like I did.
