Description

A rich, incredibly soft and moist raspberry chocolate cookie covered with a sparkly coat of turbinado sugar.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter
  • ¾ cups Packed Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup White Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1-½ teaspoon Raspberry Extract
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 1-¼ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1-¾ cup Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 2 cups Turbinado Sugar (or Regular Granulated Sugar)

Preparation

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and raspberry extracts and then the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition. Combine the cocoa, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and gradually stir into the creamed mixture.

3. Shape dough into 1 1/2 Tablespoon-sized balls and roll in turbadino (or granulated) sugar. Place on a baking sheet and flatten cookies slightly with the bottom of a drinking glass.

4. Bake 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are puffy and the tops are cracked, but still soft. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Yield: 2 1/2 dozen

These sound wonderful. I’m going to try them out tomorrow. I also have quite a large collection of extracts but will start out with the raspberry. Orange, almond, mint, cherry and expresso all sound good too. Thanks for a great recipe!!

I wonder if mint extract instead would make them taste like the Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies :)

These look wonderful. I might trade the raspberry extract for almond, or even a dash of Sambuca. ;-)

I liked dmwmom’s review. I think all reviews should have more of an explanation when you give less than five oven mits. I’m on a diet and had a great workout today so I haven’t eaten a cookie yet-probably tomorrow, but my husband says they’re great!!

I made these cookies for my husband who loves chocolate and raspberry together, as well as turbinado sugar – so obviously I thought these would be a winner, and it was for him! He loved them! His brother and SIL were visiting too, and they loved them as well, and so did our kids. I also used the dark chocolate cocoa. The only reason I gave this four stars is because, being the maker of the cookie, I found this dough to be a little difficult to work with – the cocoa went flying everywhere when I stirred it, and rolling the dough in a ball was very messy too (sorry, just trying to keep it real) :) The cookies were soft, but they were very dense too, which is not a personal favorite of mine. I also hoped to taste more of the raspberry, but I think that is subjective since everyone else said they could taste it when I could not. This is not a bad review, however, as I’m the only one who wasn’t over-the-moon about them (they were good, just not my favorite) – but the rest of my family were, so I’m sure I’ll be making this again (many times) :)

I’ve had a chocolate craving all week. These just came out of the oven, and boy, did they ever satisfy my sweet tooth. Delicious.

I just made these and YUM! You can taste the raspberry – they are beautiful to look at. Mine didn’t appear to be as dark as those in the photo, but they taste fabulous and I look forward to sharing with my office mates tomorrow.

Thank you for sharing the recipe!
