Make these delicious Chocolate Raspberry Cookies with your fresh or frozen raspberries. A perfect combination of sweet and tangy! You will love them.
RASPBERRY
Last week some of my siblings and I, along with our parents and a few of our kids went up to a relative’s berry farm and picked some fresh raspberries. I LOVE me some fresh raspberries. They are one of my favorite fresh fruits, or at least right up there with fresh peaches and cherries! I used most of the raspberries we picked to make some Raspberry Jam (which I will share here soon), froze some for smoothies, and still had a few left over to sprinkle over our cereal and to throw in these yummy cookies.
I wanted to make some raspberry scones, but at the last minute decided to make up a batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies and throw in some of the fresh raspberries! Oh…My….Goodness! They are so good! The chocolate and the tangy raspberries make the perfect combination of sweet and tart when combined. I especially liked them when they were warm right out of the oven.
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
I simply made a few adjustments to one of our Chocolate Chip Cookie recipes and threw in some white chocolate chips along with the raspberries.
COOKIE SUPPLIES
Here is a list of some supplies you might need to get you started.
- Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer
- Cookie Baking Sheet (we love these pans)
- Silicone Baking Mats
- Cookie Scoop
- Silicone Spatulas
- Cooling Racks
- Hot Pads
HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
First, I wanted the raspberries to remain as whole as possible instead of being smashed in the cookie, so I was very careful with the cookie dough. I made the dough all the way up and added the raspberries at the very end. Then, simply break the dough apart and add a little at a time to a fresh bowl and then sprinkled the raspberries in the bowl in layers. Does that make sense?
Next, scoop the cookie dough into balls, I scooped up some raspberries in each ball with an ice cream scoop, so that the raspberries were spread evenly to each cookie. If you don’t have access to fresh raspberries, you could just as easily use some frozen raspberries straight from the freezer.
RASPBERRY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
These Chocolate Raspberry cookies are a fun and unique twist to the regular chocolate chip cookie! They will be gobbled up quickly though so be sure and pull some aside for yourself before your family and friends eat them all!

Thalia @ butter and brioche says
i am so craving one of these cookies right now.. you can never go wrong with chocolate and raspberries together, its definitely one of the great flavour combinations. yum!
Sally Walter says
Hi! These cookies are yummy, but I found that 5 cups of flour was too much. I had to add some more liquid.
Tori says
I had the exact same issue, and it didn’t go well when I had to add more liquid… Looked like pure crumbs after 5cups of flour.
Amy says
Hmmm..I wonder if it is the altitude. I am at a pretty high altitude here. So we usually need more flour in recipes. Can you try adding a little bit of milk to make it a little less dry? Sorry!
I tried adding liquid as well, no go, I should have known 5 cups of flour would make hard cookies. These looked great but were so dissappointing.
Hi there….this recipe looks soooo yummy BUT i’m wondering if there is anything I could use in place of almond extract? We have one with peanut allergies! If so, please send me an email. …there are so many recipes that I want to try, but quite a few have some type of peanut something in them.
Thank you :)
You can always leave it out and add a little more vanilla extract. It won’t affect the recipe or the flavor that much and you will still have a great cookie!
You can really use any type of extract it’s just for flavor so you could even just use all vanilla extract or even raspberry extract if you wanted.
I hear you. I have peanut and tree nut allergies…deadly ones. But sometimes the almond flavoring makes all the difference (per my family). I often just swap out for vanilla, but I have found artificial almond flavoring from mc cormicks, and it has no nuts in it at all, and I can taste the flavor. It has make some of my pastries totally different and yummy. Perhaps you want to see if you can find some near you.
Thanks for the great suggestion!!
Never thought of adding raspberries to my cookies, but these look great!! Pinned. :)
These are going into my COOK! folder. What a great way to trick kids into eating fruit. I can’t make blueberry pancakes EVERY day.
Ha! They are super tasty!
For the love of God woman! I’m starving & it’s 11:30pm over here & I see this. I am ready to eat my arm. I am so pinning this to make later.
These look delish, Amy!
Thanks Kristi!
Hi,
Can u freeze the choc & raspberry cookie dough?
Thanks, Louise.
Do you know, approx how long these cookies will stay fresh given that they were made with fresh fruit? :0)
I would say no longer than a few days. They don’t last long at our house. You could also place some in the freezer and then just pull a few out as needed!
I tried this recipe today and followed it exactly with the exception of the amount of flour, after reading the comments. I started with two cups of flour and added another 1/2 cup at a time until I got a good consistency. I ended up using a total of 3 -1/2 cups. They came out soft and chewy in the center. (I am near sea level.) Very yummy. Good combination of ingredients. Thanks!
The 3 1/2 cups worked perfectly!
Found via Pinterest . .Made these today with the five cups of flower and they came out just fine. Delicious actually.
So glad you enjoyed them! Thanks for sharing that!
Has anyone tried these with nuts? Think that walnuts would taste good in it?
Sounds yummy! I will have to try it with walnuts.
I made these cookies and 5 cups of flour dough was very crumbly. Is this a correct measurement for the flour????
Judy- You can definitely reduce the amount of flour, if you think that there is too much. Maybe try using 4 cups and see how that goes. Sorry they didn’t work out for you.
