These raspberry white chocolate cookies are a delightful twist on classic drop cookies. The bright, tart raspberries create beautiful pink swirls throughout the dough while white chocolate adds creamy sweetness. Best of all, there's no dough chilling required - you can have fresh, warm cookies in just 30 minutes.
The cookies' striking appearance comes from the natural pink marbling that occurs as the frozen raspberries gently break down during mixing. The white chocolate chips create pretty polka dots throughout, making these cookies as visually appealing as they are delicious.

Preparation Method
- Butter Preparation
- Melt butter completely and cool for 10 minutes. Allow frozen raspberries to thaw slightly at room temperature for 10-15 minutes until workable but still cold.
- Dry Ingredients
- Sift flour to remove lumps. Combine with baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Use 300-310g flour for consistent results.
- Wet Ingredients
- Mix cooled butter with sugars until thickened. Add vanilla, whole egg, and yolk, mixing until glossy. Avoid overmixing to prevent excess air incorporation.
- Final Assembly
- Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture using a spatula. Gently incorporate raspberries and white chocolate chips until just combined.
- Portioning
- Scoop 3-tablespoon portions onto parchment-lined sheets. Space 6 cookies per sheet to allow proper spreading.
- Baking
- Bake 13-15 minutes until edges are golden but centers appear slightly underdone. Add extra white chocolate chips on top while warm. Cool 5 minutes on sheet before transferring.
These cookies have become a favorite at bake sales and gatherings. Their unique appearance and perfect balance of flavors make them stand out from traditional cookie offerings.

Frequently Asked Questions
- → Could I use fresh raspberries instead of frozen ones?
- Fresh ones are quite fragile and may break apart while you’re mixing. Frozen raspberries hold up better as they keep their shape in the dough.
- → Why are my cookies coming out so flat?
- Your butter might be too warm. To fix it, let the melted butter cool more. If your cookies still flatten, you can chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- → Can I swap raspberries for other fruits?
- Absolutely! Frozen blueberries or blackberries work wonderfully. If you go with strawberries, chop them into smaller chunks first.
- → What’s the best way to store these cookies?
- Pop them in an airtight container at room temperature, and they’ll last about three days. For a longer shelf life, freeze them. Just know that the fruit makes them soften quicker than typical cookies.
- → Why did the white chocolate chips turn pink?
- When raspberries thaw, their juices can spread into the dough, turning it and the chips pink. Don’t worry—it doesn’t change the taste at all.
