These raspberry cheesecake cookies are not only easy to make but also a delightful twist on your traditional cookie. They are perfect for any occasion!
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Gradually add in the granulated sugar, continuing to mix until well combined and fluffy.
Step 4: Mix in the vanilla extract and the egg until fully incorporated.
Step 5: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 6: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
Step 7: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries and white chocolate chips (if using) with a spatula.
Step 8: Drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 9: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
Step 10: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
