My Best Tips
The secret to getting that perfect gooey center is taking them out while they still look slightly underbaked. Let them cool a bit on the pan before moving them they'll set up beautifully.
Avoid These Mistakes
Watch your baking time like a hawk these cookies should stay soft inside. Be super gentle with those raspberries when mixing and don't overwork your dough it keeps everything tender.
Mix It Up
Sometimes I use blueberries or try different chocolates. You can even make them gluten-free with the right flour blend they turn out just as delicious.
Keep Them Fresh
These stay perfect for about 3 days in an airtight container. Want to plan ahead? Freeze the dough balls and bake them fresh whenever you need a treat.
Quick Answers

Frequently Asked Questions
- → Can I use frozen raspberries?
Yes, frozen actually work better as they hold shape and add less moisture. Add them frozen directly to dough.

Slightly underbake cookies - centers should look soft when removed from oven and will set while cooling.
- → What kind of white chocolate should I use?
Use high-quality white chocolate containing cocoa butter for best flavor. Both chips and chunks work.
- → How long do these keep?
Best fresh but store up to 3 days in airtight container. Can freeze dough balls to bake later.
