Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, ensuring even baking without sticking.

Add Eggs and Vanilla Extract: Beat in eggs one at a time followed by vanilla extract. Mix until combined and heavenly scented; trust me, it’s worth waiting for!

Combine Dry Ingredients With Wet Mixture: Gradually add sifted flour, baking soda, and salt into your creamed mixture. Mix gently until just combined; overmixing leads to tough cookies—nobody wants that!

Add Raspberries with Care: Gently fold in fresh raspberries with a spatula. Try not to crush them too much; we want those beautiful swirls!

Scoop and Bake!: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto prepared sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden but centers remain soft; they’ll set as they cool.

And there you have it! Let them cool slightly before transferring to wire racks.
