These mouth-watering cookies blend deep dark chocolate with juicy raspberries, making an addictive mix of intense cocoa richness and tangy berry notes. Every mouthful offers a gooey raspberry surprise wrapped in fudgy chocolate cookie base packed with high-quality chocolate pieces.
I've tried this recipe countless times and found that butter straight from the fridge makes the best texture - slightly crisp on the outside but brownie-like when you bite in. My chocolate-crazy kid called these her "all-time best" after sneaking three while they were still cooling down.
Key Ingredients Breakdown
- Dark Cocoa Powder: Go for Dutch-processed for richer taste and deeper color.
- Cold Butter: Need it straight from the refrigerator for the right consistency.
- Fresh Raspberries: Pick ones that aren't too soft for easier handling.
- Dark Chocolate: Look for 70% cocoa for that intense flavor kick.
- Brown Sugar: Brings moisture and subtle caramel undertones.
Step-By-Step Guide
- Getting Started:
- Use ingredients cold. Dice butter into tiny squares to mix easier. Be exact with your measurements - getting proportions right makes them perfectly fudgy.
- Combining Everything:
- Work the cold butter pieces until they come together. This takes time but pays off in texture. Add sugar bit by bit, scraping the sides often.
- Adding Chocolate:
- Cut chocolate yourself for different sized chunks. Some will disappear into the dough while bigger bits create melty pockets.
- Adding Berries:
- Make a hole in each ball of dough. Put raspberry and extra chocolate chips inside before closing it up.

When I was little making cookies with my grandma, she always told me patient bakers make better cookies. This recipe proves she was right - taking your time with cold ingredients and proper chilling truly makes amazing cookies.
Getting Temperatures Just Right
Great baking needs careful temperature management. Eggs mix better at room temperature while butter works best cold. Chill your dough between steps to keep it structured properly.
Shaping Like A Pro
Measuring dough portions helps them bake evenly. Try using a kitchen scale for 3.5oz portions. Make your dough balls tall instead of wide so they spread correctly.
Keeping Them Fresh
Keep baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Put parchment between layers so they don't stick. You can freeze unbaked dough balls for up to 3 months.
These double chocolate raspberry cookies bring together luxurious chocolate and bright fruit perfectly. Using three different types of chocolate alongside fresh raspberries creates an amazing cookie experience that's way better than your average chocolate chip cookie.
