Raspberry Sugar Cookies are soft, chewy, and full of bright berry flavor. With a buttery sugar cookie base and the tart sweetness of raspberries, these cookies are as colorful as they are delicious—perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon raspberry extract or 2 tablespoons ground freeze-dried raspberries
  • Optional: pink or red food coloring
  • Optional: extra sugar for rolling
  • Optional: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or melted white chocolate for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in egg, vanilla extract, raspberry extract or freeze-dried raspberries, and food coloring (if using).
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  6. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Optional: roll in granulated sugar.
  7. Place on prepared baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes, until edges are set but centers are soft.
  8. Cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Optional: drizzle cooled cookies with melted white chocolate or fold in white chocolate chips before baking.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
  • For more raspberry flavor, use both extract and freeze-dried raspberries.
  • Sandwich two cookies with raspberry jam for an extra-special treat.
