Soft & Chewy Raspberry Chocolate Chip Cookies for Beginners

Farmer Drew’s Easy Raspberry Cookie Guide

Let me tell you something—there’s magic in simplicity.

The first time I made these raspberry chocolate chip cookies, it was a rainy afternoon at the mill. My nieces were visiting, and they wanted to bake something sweet. We had raspberries from the garden, chocolate chips in the pantry, and a sack of our Organic All Purpose Flour sitting right there on the counter.

So we got to work.

One bowl, a few ingredients, and a lot of laughter later, we pulled out the softest, chewiest cookies you’ve ever tasted.

And now, I want to pass that recipe on to you.

This post will walk you through a beginner-friendly recipe for raspberry chocolate chip cookies that’s as rewarding as it is easy. We’ll use fresh (or frozen!) raspberries, pantry staples, and Early Bird Farm’s very own Organic All Purpose Flour to bake a batch of cookies that feel homemade in the best way.

As Sally McKenney of Sally’s Baking Addiction once said,
“Simple recipes made with love always taste better. It’s not about the flair—it’s about the feeling.”

These cookies capture that feeling in every bite.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-Ins

  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen, unthawed)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so nothing sticks.

Step 2: Mix Your Wet Ingredients

In a big mixing bowl, whisk together your melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix again until it’s all one cozy mixture.

Step 3: Combine the Dry

In a separate bowl, stir together the Organic All Purpose Flour, baking soda, and salt.
Now slowly add the dry ingredients to your wet mix. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined—don’t overwork it.

Step 4: Fold in the Add-Ins

Add your chocolate chips and raspberries. Fold them in gently. If you’re using fresh berries, try not to mash them too much—whole berries give you juicy bursts in every bite.

Step 5: Scoop and Space

Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion out your dough. Drop them onto your lined baking sheet with a little space between each one—they’ll spread just a bit.

Step 6: Bake

Slide that tray into the oven and bake for 11–13 minutes. You’re looking for lightly golden edges and a soft center.

Step 7: Cool

Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes (they’ll keep cooking slightly). Then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.


Farmer Drew’s Tips for Success:

  • Use cold raspberries: If using frozen berries, don’t thaw them. It keeps the dough from getting too wet.
  • Don’t overmix: Stir until just combined. Overdoing it makes the cookies tough.
  • Try variations: Swap in white chocolate or add a dash of cinnamon. Make it your own.

FAQs

What is the best flour for raspberry chocolate chip cookies?

For soft and chewy raspberry chocolate chip cookies, all-purpose flour is ideal. Its moderate protein content ensures a tender texture while providing enough structure to hold the cookies together. Using a high-quality organic all-purpose flour can enhance the flavor and consistency of your cookies.

How do I know when raspberry chocolate chip cookies are done baking?

Bake the cookies until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set but still soft. They will continue to cook slightly on the baking sheet after being removed from the oven. Typically, this takes about 11–13 minutes at 350°F (175°C).

Can I make raspberry chocolate chip cookies without eggs?

Yes, you can substitute the egg in raspberry chocolate chip cookies with unsweetened applesauce. Use 1/4 cup of applesauce to replace one egg. This keeps the cookies moist and chewy while making them suitable for those avoiding eggs.
