Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Tip: Proper preheating ensures even baking and perfect texture.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Tip: Sifting prevents lumps and improves cookie texture.

Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugars

In another bowl, beat butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Tip: Creaming adds air, resulting in soft cookies.

Step 4: Add Egg and Vanilla

Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Tip: Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing.

Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

Tip: Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.

Step 6: Fold in Chocolate and Raspberries

Gently fold in white chocolate chips and raspberries.

Tip: Be careful not to crush raspberries too much to avoid excess moisture.

Step 7: Scoop and Bake

Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.

Tip: Slightly underbake for a soft, chewy center.

Step 8: Cool and Serve

Let cookies cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.

Tip: Cookies firm up as they cool while staying soft inside.
