Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks (70% cocoa or higher)
  • 1 cup fresh or thawed frozen raspberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined. Setting this mixture aside ensures the cocoa and leavening distribute properly in your dough.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a stand or hand mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. This step creates the perfect base for tender cookies.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. This adds moisture and helps bind all ingredients together smoothly.
  4. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, careful not to overmix. Overworking flour can make cookies tough, so just combine until no streaks remain.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chunks and Raspberries: Gently fold in your dark chocolate chunks and fresh or thawed raspberries. Be delicate to keep raspberry pieces intact without them turning into mush.
  6. Scoop and Bake: Scoop cookie dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set but centers remain slightly soft.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow cookies to cool briefly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack. This helps them firm up and makes them easier to handle, preserving moisture inside.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to help maintain shape and intensify flavors during baking.
  • Use slightly under-ripe raspberries for firmer berries that hold their shape better and prevent excessive juice leaking.
  • Do not overbake; remove cookies when edges are firm but centers still look soft to keep them chewy.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate chunks (not chips) for better melt and richer taste.
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for even baking and easy cleanup.
