Make soft, chewy raspberry cheesecake cookies at home. This recipe yields bakery-style cookies with a tangy cream cheese base and bright raspberry flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried raspberries, crushed into powder
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries, chopped (if using frozen, do not thaw)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and crushed freeze-dried raspberry powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped fresh or frozen raspberries.
  8. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • For a stronger raspberry flavor, increase the freeze-dried raspberry powder to 3/4 cup.
  • If you prefer a thicker cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping.
  • Use room temperature cream cheese and butter for the smoothest batter.
