Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
1/4 cup raspberry jam (for the filling)
Additional white chocolate chips for stuffing (about 1/2 cup)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Prepare the cookie dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
Combine the dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate and raspberries: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and raspberries. Be careful not to break up the raspberries too much; you want them to remain chunky in the dough.
Stuff the cookies: Take a spoonful of dough and flatten it into a disk. Place about 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam and a few additional white chocolate chips in the center. Then, fold the dough around the filling, sealing it inside. Roll the dough into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers are slightly soft. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Cool and enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Description:
These Raspberry and White Chocolate Stuffed Cookies are a delicious treat that combines the tartness of fresh raspberries with the rich sweetness of white chocolate. The soft and chewy cookies are stuffed with a gooey raspberry jam and extra white chocolate chips that melt in your mouth with every bite. Perfect for any occasion, these cookies are sure to be a hit with both fruit and chocolate lovers.
Tips:
Raspberries: If using frozen raspberries, make sure to thaw them and pat them dry with a paper towel to avoid excess moisture in the dough.
Freezing dough: To make the process easier, you can freeze the cookie dough balls for 10-15 minutes before baking. This helps them keep their shape while baking.
Chill dough: If your dough feels too soft and difficult to work with, chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Extra flavor: Add a splash of lemon zest to the dough for a citrusy flavor that complements the raspberries beautifully.
Variations:
Substitute the raspberries: You can swap raspberries for other berries like strawberries or blueberries for a different flavor.
Add nuts: For extra crunch, add chopped macadamia nuts, almonds, or hazelnuts to the dough alongside the white chocolate.
Chocolate filling: Instead of raspberry jam, you can use a spoonful of chocolate ganache or Nutella for a richer filling.
Corrections:
Overmixing the dough: Avoid overmixing the dough when adding the dry ingredients. This can result in tough cookies. Mix until just combined.
Handling the raspberries: When folding the raspberries into the dough, be gentle to prevent them from breaking apart too much, as this can make the dough too wet.
Enjoy:
