Raspberry Cookies Recipes

RASPBERRY MELTAWAY COOKIES

Steps:

• Mix together butter and cornstarch until well combined. Add in powdered sugar and extract and mix until smooth. Add flour and mix until dough comes together and flour is all incorporated. Cover and refrigerate 10-15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Scoop out about 1/2 a tablespoonful of dough. (I use a small cookie scoop!) Roll into a ball and lay on parchment on a cookie sheet. Lay cookie dough balls out 4 across in 5 rows, fitting about 20 cookies per sheet.
• Bake 9 minutes. Remove from oven and flatten the tops of each cookie by gently pressing down with the bottom of a glass. Let sit for 2 minutes before transferring parchment to a cooling rack.
• Whisk vanilla glaze ingredients until smooth and desired consistency is achieved. Let cool slightly before spooning onto cookies.
• Let cool about 10 minutes. Spoon glaze on top. Transfer jam to a small bag and cut the corner to pipe 4-5 small drops of jam on top of glaze on each cookie. Use a toothpick to swirl the jam and the glaze.
• Let cool to set. Store in an airtight container.

CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, beat 1 1/4 sticks softened butter and 1 cup light brown sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed, 4 minutes. Beat in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture on low speed. Stir in 3/4 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup each white chocolate chips and crushed freeze-dried raspberries. Roll into 1 1/2-inch balls; arrange on parchment-lined baking sheets and bake at 375˚ F until set, 12 to 15 minutes.

RASPBERRY CRUMBLE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Make the crumble topping. In a medium bowl, wish together the flour, brown sugar, oats, and spices, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, work the mixture together until all of the ingredients are combined and the mixture is crumbly. Set crumble topping aside.
• In a stand mixer (or with a hand mixer) beat together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes). Add in the vanilla and milk and mix until combined.
• Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture. Mix only until the point that the dough starts to come together. It will appear crumbly but if you squeeze a handful, it should hold together.
• Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop a heaping tablespoon on dough into your hands and give it a gentle roll to form a ball. Gently press your thumb into the center of the dough creating a little indentation and place it on the lined baking sheet.
• Spoon a teaspoon of jam into each cookie.
• Sprinkle the crumble topping over the tops of each cookie.
• Bake for 15-17 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.
• Let cool for at least 10 minutes before eating.

RASPBERRY CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease baking sheets.
• Mash the butter and sugar together in a bowl with a wooden spoon until the mixture is creamy and well blended, and beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in the raspberry extract, almond extract, and milk. In a separate bowl, stir the flour and baking powder together until thoroughly combined, and gradually beat into the butter-egg mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips, and drop by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until very lightly browned at the edges, 8 to 10 minutes.

SOFT SUGAR COOKIES WITH RASPBERRY FROSTING

Steps:

• Make the cookies: In a large bowl, using a spoon, cream the butter, cream cheese, sugar and salt until smooth and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk to incorporate some air and to dissolve the sugar crystals, about 1 minute. Stir in the flour and baking powder until just incorporated.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees and line two rimmed sheet pans with parchment paper. Using two spoons or a cookie scooper, plop out 2-tablespoon/50-gram rounds spaced a couple of inches apart. (You should get about 7 to 8 cookies per sheet pan.) Place the sheet pans in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes until the dough is no longer sticky and easier to handle.
• While the dough chills, make the frosting: In a fine-mesh sieve set over a medium bowl, sift the ground raspberries, using a spoon to help pass them through, until most of the ruby-red powder is in the bowl and most of the seeds are left behind in the sieve. (Discard the seeds.)
• To the bowl, add the 1 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt and, with an electric hand mixer, mix on low speed until the butter absorbs the sugar. Then, turn the speed up to high and beat until the frosting doubles in size, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to ensure all the ingredients are incorporated. Transfer the frosting to a small container, cover tightly, and set aside. (You should have about 2 cups of frosting.)
• Remove the sheet pans from the freezer. Roll the chilled dough into even balls and flatten them slightly with your fingers so they're about 2 inches wide and 1 inch high. Bake the cookies for 13 to 15 minutes, rotating the pans and switching racks halfway through, or until they no longer look wet on top, are still light in color and spring back to the touch. They will puff up and crack slightly. Let cool completely on the sheet pan. (They will continue to cook as they sit.)
• Using a butter knife or offset spatula, frost each cooled cookie with the raspberry frosting and adorn with the sprinkles.

INCREDIBLE RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until soft and fluffy with an electric mixer, then beat in the egg until thoroughly combined. Mix in the cookie mix, then stir in the raspberry chips. Drop the dough about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets with a tablespoon or small scoop. Lightly pat the cookies to flatten.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden, 9 to 12 minutes. Cool before serving.
