- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar for rolling
In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook the raspberries until they break down and form a jam-like consistency, about 5 minutes. Use a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds and set the purée aside to cool.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined.
Gently swirl the cooled raspberry purée into the dough using a rubber spatula. Do not overmix — you want visible raspberry ribbons throughout.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll gently in granulated sugar.
Place cookie dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. The centers may look slightly soft — they will continue to set as they cool.
Allow cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
