Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (use dairy-free butter for vegan option)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (or 2 flax eggs for vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Whisk together the all-purpose (or gluten-free) flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  2. Combine and Fold In Raspberries: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Carefully fold in the fresh raspberries, taking care not to crush them to avoid turning the dough pink.
  3. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This firms up the dough, making it easier to handle and preventing the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
  4. Shape and Coat: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop out tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Generously coat each ball in powdered sugar until completely covered to create the signature crinkle appearance.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft and chewy. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh raspberries for the best texture and flavor; if using frozen, drain and dry thoroughly before folding in.
  • Do not overmix the dough to prevent tough cookies.
  • Chilling the dough enhances flavor and texture while preventing excessive spreading during baking.
  • Roll the dough balls generously in powdered sugar for a beautiful crackled look and added sweetness.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking tray to set properly and maintain chewiness.
