Practical notes
Why are our cookies flat?Flat cookies can be a few reasons. If you do not refrigerate the cookie dough, it will flatten out. So if the dough hasn’t chilled long enough that could be why. The other thing is too many raspberries adding extra moisture to the cookies. Or not enough flour.
Can we use freeze dried raspberries?Go right ahead and use freeze dried raspberries to replace fresh or frozen in this cookie recipe. It will change the flavor a little bit but overall you will have a similar flavor!
Can we swap with other fruit?Go right ahead and reach for strawberries, blackberries, etc. You are more than welcome to use any variety of fruit. Just rinse and mix in the fruit the same way.
Is white chocolate dairy free?Classic white chocolate does contain dairy. You are welcome to swap out the classic chocolate and use a dairy free chocolate if you need.
Do you rinse raspberries before baking raspberry chocolate chip cookies?You will want to rinse your raspberries, and then place them on paper towels to dry. You will want to make sure not to mix the berries in right away. It will add extra liquid into your cookies and can affect your raspberry dessert. We rinse the berries when we start and let them dry while we are mixing up the dough.
