When frozen raspberries are mixed into soft-baked chocolate chip cookies, something AMAZING happens. Each bite of Raspberry Chocolate Chip Cookies is bursting with raspberry flavour. Yum!

No matter the time of year, I can’t get enough of berries. Whether they’re fresh or frozen, berries are undeniably delicious. When they are baked into cookies, raspberries give each bite of the cookie a tasty fruity flavour that you can’t help but devour. And when you add in chocolate chips, Raspberry Chocolate Chip Cookies become a perfectly luscious cookie. Yum!

Inspired by my Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies, these cookies combine two of my favourite things – raspberries and ooey gooey chocolate chips. Instead of simply having bits of raspberries throughout, this cookie dough is infused with raspberries. Each bite of these cookies is filled with raspberry flavour.

If you’re familar with classic cookie dough, this dough starts out a little different. When the dough is first mixed together, it will seem really stiff and dry. Once the frozen raspberries are mixed in, the dough will begin to change colour, becoming a vibrant raspberry red colour. The more you mix, the more the dough will come together until it looks like the cookie dough in the picture below.

The frozen raspberries also cool the dough, mimicking cookie dough that’s placed in a fridge or freezer. You may find that the cookie dough is a little sticky to handle. I recommend using a cookie scoop or a spoon to place the cookies on a parchment covered cookie sheet.

After you take a bite of these cookies, you’ll ask yourself, “How are these cookies low fat?” Well, they are! With apple sauce, egg white, and raspberries, these cookies are soft, chewy, and bursting with raspberry and chocolate flavour.

Raspberry Chocolate Chip Cookies keep for several days. Simply store them in a container and they’ll be soft and chewy for days. It’s amazing that even after three or four days, the apple sauce and raspberries help the cookies keep their freshly baked flavour.
