These raspberry marble cookies combine juicy raspberries with a soft, chewy marble cookie full of chocolate chips for a mouthwatering bite.
Raspberry Marble Cookies
Raspberries and chocolate are a paring that is just meant to be. Raspberries are slightly tarter than strawberries but fall directly in the same category. These raspberry marble cookies show off the pairing in full view. The juicy raspberries sit alongside a buttery cookie that is a mashup of both chocolate and vanilla dough.
Adding fruit to a cookie is a delicate balance. Too much, and the cookies just end up being wet. Not enough, and there is no flavor in the cookie. Luckily, these raspberry cookies have just enough. Frozen raspberries are the optimal choice for this recipe. They hold their shape while baking and don't make a complete mess in the batter. When baking, they thaw out to add a slight tangy flavor to the cookies.
These cookies are a mashup of both chocolate and vanilla cookie dough. The cocoa powder gets added to a chunk of cookie dough batter to make the chocolate dough. It is then subtly mixed in with the rest of the dough to create the marble look. If you prefer good old chocolate chip cookies, feel free to skip the marbling.
