This recipe is easy to follow and perfect for baking with friends or family.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup fresh raspberries

Cooking Guide:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and raspberries. Be careful not to overmix, as this can break down the raspberries.
5. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space for spreading.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft.
7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

• For chewier cookies, reduce the baking time by 1 minute.
• Fresh raspberries are best, but frozen raspberries can be used in a pinch. Thaw them completely and pat them dry with a paper towel before folding them into the dough.
• To prevent the raspberries from bleeding too much, toss them in a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the dough.
• Let your cookie dough chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies spread less and keeps them chewier.
• Enjoy your delicious Raspberry Chocolate Chip Cookies warm from the oven with a cold glass of milk!
