Raspberry Cream Cookies

These may very well be the best cookies I’ve ever made. Excuse me while I delete all other cookie recipes from the blog.

Ok, maybe not. But if you were to pick ONE cookie recipe to make from this blog, I highly suggest that it be this one. The cream cheese makes the texture insane. But the star, of course, is the raspberries.

What’s the secret to adding raspberries (or any other bright, juicy fruit) to a baked good?

*shhhhh*

Sprinkle them with flour.

That way, they blend perfectly into the batter, but don’t overpower the cookies.

Love those little seeds. Tastes so fresh.

And what’s the best partner for raspberries? White chocolate, of course.

HELPFUL TOOLS WHEN MAKING WHITE CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE COOKIES:

• silicone baking mats – if you prefer not to use parchment, these will produce no waste and are easy to clean
• whisk set – stir, whisk and scrape sides all at once!

 

Chunks of white chocolate and cream cheese? You must do this.

I won’t use the “m” word, but I will say these cookies are so soft on the inside. They stay soft for days… so yummy.
