Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Large bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This makes for easy cleanup.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. This is where the magic begins!
  3. Step 3: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Get ready for that delicious aroma!
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This is your dry mix that will give the cookies structure.
  5. Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. You don’t want to overmix here.
  6. Step 6: Fold in the dark chocolate chips and fresh raspberries gently to avoid crushing the berries. This step is crucial for those delightful pops of raspberry!
  7. Step 7: Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. They will spread a bit while baking.
  8. Step 8: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are set. The centers may appear slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
  9. Step 9: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them maintain their shape.

Notes

These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them fresh longer, you can freeze them for up to three months. Just be sure to layer them with parchment paper to prevent sticking!
