What Makes This Recipe Great
There is no better combo than creamy white chocolate and tangy raspberries! These Raspberry and White Chocolate Cookies are gluten free, soft, chewy, and absolutely delicious. They are the perfect cookie to have any time of year, but they are especially festive-looking for Valentine’s Day! These are some of my favorite cookie recipes I’ve made for my site.

Butter: Feel free to use vegan butter for dairy free. I’ve found that Miyokos or Kite Hill brand work best.
Granulated sugar
Brown Sugar: Look for light brown and make sure to pack it in the cup when measuring!
Egg + egg yolk: I’ve found that using 1 egg + a yolk vs 2 full large eggs yields a better cookie texture.
Gluten Free 1:1 Flour: I like King Arthur Baking brand measure for measure gluten free flour.
Vanilla extract
Raspberries: I tested these cookies with freeze-dried or dehydrated raspberries (pictured) and fresh berries. Fresh were delicious, however they made the cookies turn purple / gray because of the chemical reaction when baking. There was also a little too much moisture in the cookie dough when the berries broke apart. You can feel free to use fresh raspberries, but beware of the color change that may happen! The cookies will also be slightly softer when you use fresh raspberries. I got freeze-dried raspberries at Target (Good & Gather brand) and they worked well! Frozen raspberries may result in green cookies, but they will still be delicious.
White chocolate: Gluten free white chocolate brands (from my research) include Tollhouse, Good & Gather, Lily’s, Pascha, and Enjoy Life. If you need to be dairy free, look for the Enjoy Life or Pascha brands. White chocolate chunks from white chocolate bars will also work!
Baking soda & baking powder: Make sure to look for gluten free, aluminum-free baking powder!

Bake for 10-12 minutes untiljuststarting to turn golden brown. Remove and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Tips, Tricks & Variations
Chilling the dough: I recommend chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes for chewy cookies. If you don’t chill the dough, they may be more flat and hard, but still delicious. Depending on the chill time, they can turn out soft and chewy, or hard and crunchy.
Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days.
Freezing: You can store the baked cookies in an airtight freezer safe container or freezer bag for up to 6 months.
Additional mix-ins: Feel free to add macadamia nuts or coconut to this recipe – I think both would work well! If you prefer to use freeze-dried strawberries instead, those will also work.

Recipe FAQ’s
Why did my white chocolate and raspberry cookies turn green?
Sometimes the acidity from fresh raspberries can react with the baking soda and baking powder in the dough, causing the cookies to turn a greenish-blue color. This is why I decided to use the freeze-dried raspberries instead!
Do white chocolate and raspberries go together?
100% – This combo is so delicious. The creamy, sweet white chocolate plus tart raspberries make for one amazing combination in these chewy gluten free cookies!
Are these gluten free cookies nut free?
Yes, these cookies happen to be nut free!
