Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried raspberries
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (room temperature, about 68°F)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp corn starch
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chunks

For the Cream Cheese Filling:

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Cream Cheese Filling: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate while preparing the cookie dough.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, corn starch, salt, and baking soda to create the base of your cookie dough which will ensure a tender texture.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, then beat until just incorporated.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet butter and sugar mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the cookies soft. Gently fold in the freeze-dried raspberries and white chocolate chunks evenly throughout the dough.
  5. Assemble the Cookies: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and flatten into a disc. Place a small spoonful of the chilled cream cheese filling in the center. Cover with another disc of dough, pinch edges to seal, and gently roll into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  6. Chill the Cookie Dough: Place the assembled cookie dough balls on a tray and chill in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes. This step helps maintain the shape during baking and improves texture.
  7. Bake the Cookies: Arrange chilled cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. The cookies should look slightly underbaked when removed as they will continue to set while cooling.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy fresh or store as instructed.

Notes

  • Use freeze-dried raspberries only; regular dried or fresh raspberries add too much moisture.
  • Keep freeze-dried raspberries in the freezer until folding into dough to preserve color and texture.
  • Gently crush freeze-dried berries by hand rather than in a food processor to avoid powdery texture.
  • Chill dough for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results and texture.
  • Do not overmix dough to avoid tough cookies.
  • Ensure cream cheese filling is slightly cool to avoid spreading during baking.
  • Cookies keep fresh for up to 5 days in an airtight container with a piece of bread to maintain softness.
  • Freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months with parchment layers; freeze dough balls for fresh baking later.
