Raspberry Frosted Chocolate Cookies

Raspberry Frosted Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are a wonderfully pink cookie to celebrate Valentine's/Galentine's or any form of love! The chocolate chip cookies form the perfect base to hold all that raspberry frosting. I am a huge fan of the chocolate/raspberry combination so this recipe just made sense to create and share!

Ingredients

  • 125 g (9 tbsp) Unsalted Butter Melted
  • 120 g (½ cups) Light Brown Soft Sugar
  • 100 g (½ cups) Granulated Sugar
  • 1 (1) Large Free Range Egg
  • 2 tsp (2 tsp) Vanilla Extract
  • 270 g (2 ¼ cups) All Purpose Flour
  • 3 tsp (3 tsp) Baking Powder
  • 150 g (1 cup) Semi-Sweet/Dark Chocolate Chips

For the Frosting

  • 110 g (½ cups) Unsalted Butter Room Temperature
  • 350 g (3 cups) Powdered Sugar (Icing Sugar)
  • 50 g (½ cup) Raspberries Fresh or Frozen are fine - see notes.

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, using an electric/stand mixer combine the butter and both sugars on medium speed for several minutes, until fully combined. Add the egg and vanilla and mix again.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and the chocolate chips and mix until combined. The dough should be fairly solid at this stage (it ought to almost form a ball, albeit a very soft one!). Place in fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 170℃/360℉. Line two-three large baking sheets.
  • Place cookies 2 inches apart on baking sheets – they spread! Bake 12-14 minutes, until just golden at the edges. Let cool.

For the Frosting

  • Once the cookies are cool, make the frosting. Add the butter to a large mixing bowl. Beat with a whisk on high for a minute to soften/combine everything.
  • Heat up the raspberries in a microwave for 20-30 seconds. Mash down with a fork to make a paste.
  • Add half the icing sugar, and about a tablespoon of raspberries and whisk on high. Then add the remaining half and whisk everything on high until fluffy. Add icing sugar/milk as required to meet your desired consistency. Spread over the cooled cookies, and optional: top with more of the raspberries, sprinkles or Valentine's candy.

Notes

Raspberries for the Frosting:
Frozen raspberries tend to be a much cheaper option. Heat them up from frozen in the microwave for 30 seconds. Mash them down to form a runny paste like texture. This adds a gorgeous pop of natural color and flavor to the frosting.
If using fresh, do the same, but less time in the microwave - more like 10-15 seconds.
Both fresh and frozen give the same result, so use whatever you prefer!
