Ingredients & Substitutions

Room temperature butter yields the best results. In a time pinch, place chilled butter in the microwave for 11 seconds. This allows the butter to slightly soften without melting. I have had success substituting coconut oil for butter in cookie recipes before, but haven’t tried it with this one.

Both granulated sugar and light brown sugar are used to achieve the right amount of sweetness. Tightly pack brown sugar. Coconut sugar can replace brown sugar, but the cookies will be slightly darker in color.

Every cookie needs a little vanilla extract!

One egg is needed to help these raspberry white chocolate chip cookies rise. Do not use an egg replacer or flax egg.

Gluten free raspberry and white chocolate chip cookies

Gluten free 1 to 1 flour is the perfect replacement for all purpose flour. I highly recommend King Arthur Flour. If not gluten free, all purpose flour works well. For this white chocolate and raspberry cookie recipe, both flours work well.

The pinch of sea salt adds the right amount of salty flavor. I recommend a high quality sea salt for best results.

Baking soda is the leavening agent used to make these cookies rise!

For the white chocolate chips, I used Dee Best Vegan white chocolate chips. Use regular white chocolate chips if desired! If you have leftover, try these Red Velvet Cookies.

Use quartered raspberries. Chop them and discard any excess juice that has leaked out. Fresh raspberry white chocolate cookies are to die for!

Cream butter and sugars until completely mixed.

The dough will be slightly thicker than usual cookie dough.

Chop raspberries into quarters. Try to discard any excess juice from berries before gently folding in.

Chill dough for at least 30 minutes. This is very important!

Bake until middles of cookie are just set. They may look a little gooey but they will firm up while cooling.

Sure! Wrap each individual cookie and freeze. Thaw before eating.
