I have something to tell you, but I feel like you’re not going to believe me.

These are the best cookies I’ve ever eaten.
Not just the best cookies I’ve created, or the best cookies I’ve made from someone else’s recipe, or the best cookies I’ve ever eaten at a coffee shop or bakery.
The best cookies I’ve ever eaten. Ever.
First, there’s the rich, fudgy chocolate base.
Then the semisweet chocolate chips.
Then the white chocolate chips.
And — wait for it — REAL raspberries.
I am forever indebted to the lovely lady at Anecdotes and Apples for making me brave enough to try putting frozen fruit in a cookie. I tried her recipe once and loved it, and I wanted to use the same idea to enhance my mom’s double chocolate chip cookie recipe.
I’ve been wanting to share my mom’s double chocolate cookie recipe with you for a long time. Growing up, my mom made exactly 3 different cookie recipes: chocolate chip, double chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin. When I was a teenager, she added a peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip to the mix. Sometimes, if things got really exciting, she would make two-tone cookies, and mix clumps of regular chocolate chip and double chocolate chip together.
This is where I’m the complete opposite of my mother. She finds something really good, and sticks with it. She will make the same recipe hundreds of times. Me? When I get around to making something the second time, I feel like it’s a pretty big deal.
Discovering Pinterest only made things worse. Sometimes I feel as if each of my recipe boards is a giant To-Do list, and I can never keep up because I keep finding more amazing recipes from food bloggers I love.
Often, I’m nominated to bring dessert to family functions at my in-laws’ house. My mother-in-law will ask, “new recipe?” Sometimes I wonder why she asks.
How was that for a tangent?
These cookies are perfect. They are thin enough to be soft and fudgy and not at all crispy. The chocolate is rich and sweet but not too sweet. The white chocolate adds a buttery, creaminess that complements raspberries so perfectly. And the raspberries. Unlike a lot of cookie recipes, the raspberries here are juicy, and fresh-tasting, and sweet but a little bit tart at the same time, just to give enough contrast to the dark (but not too dark), fudgy chocolate.
Chocolate is the star of the show here. But the raspberries are going to make you question why you ever ate chocolate without them before.
Please, do yourself a favour and go make these cookies.
Triple Chocolate Raspberry Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter cold
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups frozen raspberries
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or use a handheld), cream cold butter until smooth. If you need to let it warm up a bit, feel free, but I have had more luck with these with my butter still cold.
- Add the sugar and vanilla and cream together.
- Add the eggs and mix well.
- Add in flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda until combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and frozen raspberries (do not let thaw)*. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let dough chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Shape dough into approximately 1″ balls and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-13 minutes until the tops just appear dry and slightly puffed — the cookie will sink down as it cools. Make sure you take them out just as they finish setting, because we don’t want overbaked cookies.

Jen says
these are so delicious thank you!
I’m wondering can I use less sugar in them at all in any way? I found it to be too much for me or at least for my waist line ๐
Ashley Fehr says
I’m so happy you enjoyed them! You can definitely try reducing the sugar but it’s not something I’ve experimented with. Let me know how it works if you do!
Laura says
Hello Ashley!
I’m going to bake these delicious looking cookies in a few days but I’ve got a little question and was hoping that you might be able to help; I’m assuming that your oven has a fan assisted setting (since most ovens do, after all) and that this is the one you used, but our oven is rather old and only has bottom heat, top heat and the typical combination of both, do you think I should increase the temperature when attempting this recipe? If so, how many degrees would you suggest?
Thanks in advance!
~ Laura
Ashley Fehr says
I do have a convection oven but I actually never use it. So I just use regular bottom heat to bake pretty much everything! I honestly find the convection fan doesn’t do a whole lot of good and I end up only baking one or two pans at a time on the middle rack. Hope that helps!
Laura says
Ah, now that’s good to hear! It definitely helped, yes, thank you very much! Can’t wait to see how they’ll turn out.
Ashley Fehr says
They are one of my favorite cookies! Hope you like them ๐
Ashley Fehr says
Great! Let me know!
Laura says
Soo, I finally baked them today and while the whole “shaping the dough” part was kind of a mess because of the raspberries it was well worth it in the end, everyone who tried these cookies so far totally loved them! Especially my brother – who just left the kitchen with another (!!) handful of cookies and the words “I’m sorry, they are just too good”. They turned out perfectly chewy without falling apart and the edges are only slightly crispy, just the way we like ’em best. To be honest, I was kinda intimidated by the idea of adding frozen fruits to cookies since I’ve never tried that before as well, so I ended up putting it off for weeks, frequently coming back only to close the page again… but now I’m really glad that I finally gave it a shot. ๐ Thank you for this awesome recipe (and for your help, of course), I have a feeling that I’ll “have” to make these again pretty soon!
Ashley Fehr says
Ah, I’m so glad you made them and liked them! They are totally a mess to form but totally worth it! Thanks Laura!
Angie Gifford says
I just made these to add to my Christmas cookie collection and they are absolutely amazing!! These will be a part of my Christmas cookies from now on and will be made throughout the year. Thanks so much for the recipe!!!
Ashley says
Thanks Angie! They are one of my all-time favorites ๐
Serene says
These taste great!!
I love them, but I have one question.
Mine came out round and fat not thin and flat.
Anything you can suggest?
Did you use AP flour?
Ashley says
I think I did use AP flour with these. I often do whole wheat but I haven’t with these. Were they chilled quite a while?
Serene says
Only half an hour. Have you made them not chilled? I might try that, it might help.
Ashley says
You could! I found I needed to chill mine otherwise it was difficult to work with, but if you find it doesn’t need it you could definitely try without!
Mags says
Made these to bring into the office and everyone absolutely loved them. I may not be allowed back into work unless I bring another batch!
Ashley says
Haha, I’m so glad you liked them!
