Tuesday cookies! Can’t complain about that! To say that I’ve been working on these cookies for a while would be an understatement. I’ve had the recipe perfected since day one, but I struggled to capture their flavor and texture on camera. So, unfortunately, I ended up making these far too many times.
It wasn’t until my very last attempt that I figured out the one special thing my cookies needed. Not only to look amazing but to taste even better – fresh summer raspberries.
They changed my recipe idea completely. Once I made them there was no going back. I knew this was the cookie I wanted to share, I love these.
Here are the simple cookie details
First things first, brown the butter. This is simple. I like to use a medium skillet and brown both sticks of butter over medium heat. Simply let the butter cook until it bubbles up and foams on top. This is when I turn the heat off and continue to allow the butter to cook in the pan.
Little brown bits will form on the bottom of the pan, those are the nutty little bits that will make your recipes extra delicious.
When the butter is browned, let it cool off slightly. The rest goes really quickly.
In a large bowl, mix in some brown sugar, granulated sugar, a couple of eggs, and a good amount of vanilla. Then add the flour and baking soda, plus, a pinch of salt. Nothing fancy.
Mix the cookie dough, then gently mix in the chocolate and raspberries. Try to use raspberries that are in good shape and not too wet. This will make them easier to work with and give a better result. And whatever you do, do not overmix this mixture. You can use your hands to help mix (or place) the berries and chocolate into each cookie before baking.
You can also use frozen raspberries, do not thaw them though.
Since I love a flat cookie, I gently press the dough balls down, then bake the cookies.
While they bake, you will smell the wonderful scents of rich butter and vanilla.
I know it’s hard to beat a classic chocolate chip cookie. They will always have their own stage to shine, these are just different.
Totally delicious, simple, and fun for summer with the fresh berries. I will say that I haven’t tested this recipe using any other berries. So if that’s a thought of yours, proceed with caution. I’m just not sure how other berries will work. Cookies are tricky, but who knows, they could be amazing!
Other than that, zero notes! Just going to leave you with a little nudge to go bake some weekday cookies!

Brown Butter Raspberry Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter at room temperature
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups chopped chocolate chunks or chips
- 3/4 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.2. Add the butter to a skillet set over medium heat. Cook until the butter begins to brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a heatproof bowl. Let cool 5 minutes or so. 3. To the brown butter, mix in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla, mixing until smooth. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold in the chocolate and raspberries, do not overmix.4. Roll the dough into rounded tablespoon size balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. The dough may be a little wet from the berries. Gently flatten the dough down. Bake 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, rotate and tap the baking sheet on the counter 1-2 times to flatten. Bake another 2-3 minutes or until the cookies are just beginning to set on the edges.5. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet. They will continue to cook slightly as they sit on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with flaky salt (if desired). Eat warm (highly recommended) or let cool and store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Followed the directions to a tee! What a flop. Dough was so wet, couldn’t “roll” at all added (by tablespoon) additional flour until it could a shape. Baked @350 for 8 min – still sift and runny. Ty stated the pan after 8 min – cones for an additional 3 – still soft and runny. Added 2 min increments – edges started to crisp up – middle of cookie was not cooked. Never had an issue with any recipes.
Hi Kathleen,
Thanks so much for making these cookies and sharing your feedback! So very sorry to hear they did not turn out for you!
These were delicious and did not last long. We had to apply a lot of self control not to make another batch once they were finished
Hey Marie,
Fantastic! I appreciate you making this recipe, so glad to hear it was enjoyed!
Enjoy your weekend!
I do love how simple they are but I made with frozen raspberries and I don’t think there’s enough. I could be wrong if made with fresh raspberries. I’d also add some dehydrated raspberries if I had any. Planning to sandwich a couple with raspberry jam to really make it a party. Thank you!
Hey Chelsea,
Thrilled to hear this recipe turned out nicely for you, thanks for making it and your comment!
Have a nice Sunday!
Any adjustments for making at high altitude? 5300ft.
Hey Trista,
You can keep the recipe as written:) Please let me know if you give these cookies a try, I hope you love them!
Can I make these and just omit the raspberries for a regular brown butter chocolate chip cookie?
Hi Christine,
Sure, that would work nicely for you! I hope you love these cookies, please let me know if you give them a try!
Do you think it’d work to prep these cookies into balls and then freeze until ready to bake?
Hi Olivia,
You bet, that will work nicely for you! I hope you love these cookies!
Happy Holidays!
Made these today – can’t figure out why when they cooled some took on a green tinge. Any thoughts.
Hey Barb,
Interesting, I’ve never had that happen before…..anything you may have adjusted? Thanks for trying these cookies!
Love these cookies! My sister just had a baby and she was craving these exact cookies!! Thanks so much! They are amazing!
Thank you SO much Emily! Congrats to your sister, how sweet of you to make these cookies for her! So glad they were enjoyed! xT
Going to make this soon but had a few questions! 1. For a chewy flat cookie should I use dark brown sugar or light brown sugar? 2. Should I chill the dough before baking and if so how long? 3. Should I use a whisk to mix the dough or a spatula? I see in your tik tok that you used a spatula. Appreciate the help and advice!
Hi! I would recommend light brown sugar! I dont normally chill the dough but you totally can if you’d like! I would recommend a baking spatula 🙂 xT
The half-recipe didn’t half the cups of butter, I’m sure it would be helpful to others if this was fixed! Unfortunately, I realized this too late, which resulted in flat pancake cookies 🙁 Warning to anyone else doing a half recipe!!
Hi Nan,
Very sorry to hear this! I just tested this myself and the butter measurement went down for me. I hope you will try making these again! xx
Turned out really cake like.
Hi Bethany,
Sorry to hear these cookies turned out cake like for you. Was there anything you may have adjusted? It could have just been the amount of moisture. Thanks for trying the recipe! xx
These cookies turned out so oily and mushy…
Hi Mikayla,
So sorry to hear this! Was there anything you may have adjusted in the recipe? Please let me know how I can help! xx
