Ingredients needed

• Flour: Any all purpose flour.

• Egg
• Butter: Make sure the butter is at room temperature.
• Cream cheese: This will make the cookies so soft! Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature.

Making the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake cookies

1. Whisk the dry ingredients: In a small bowl whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Then set aside.
2. Beat butter, cream cheese and sugars: In a mixer bowl, beat butter, cream cheese, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix on medium speed until smooth and combined.
3. Add egg and vanilla extract: Beat until the mixture is smooth. About 2 minutes.
4. Add flour mixture: Mix on low speed. Do not overbeat. The cookie dough will be sticky.
5. Add the chocolate chips and freeze dried raspberries: Use a spatula to mix. Mix until chocolate chips and raspberries are just combined. The dough will still be quite sticky.
6. Shape into balls and bake: Scoop the cookie dough out using an cookie scoop. Then drop the cookie dough balls onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If desired, add additional chocolate chips to the tops of the cookie dough. Then bake the cookies until they are puffed and bottoms are golden brown.

Tips for success

• Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature: This will make it easier for the cookie dough to come together and be lump free. If short on time you can quickly bring butter and cream cheese to room temperature by:
  • Cut the butter or cream cheese into cubes. Then microwave the cream cheese or butter in 10 second intervals. The butter/cream cheese should just be soft. Be careful not to over soften!
• The cookie dough will be sticky! This is ok. The easiest way to make the cookie dough balls is by using a cookie scoop. This will make perfect round cookie dough balls.
• Measure flour correctly by scooping the flour into the measuring cup using a spoon and then leveling it with a butter knife. Adding too much flour can make the cookies dry.

What is freeze dried raspberries?

Freeze dried raspberries is a process in which the raspberries had all it’s moister removed but still retains all of the raspberry flavor. You get a light, crispy, dry raspberry that has lots of flavor. You can find these at almost any grocery store, Target or Trader Joe’s. Adding freeze dried raspberries to the cookies, gives the cookie it’s raspberry flavor, but without adding the extra moister that fresh or frozen raspberries do.
