White Chocolate Raspberry (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 1/3 cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
02 - Zest from a fresh lemon
03 - 2/3 cup softened, unsalted butter
04 - 1 large egg
05 - 1/3 cup superfine sugar (caster sugar)

→ Dry Ingredients

06 - 1¾ cups plain flour
07 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, finely ground
08 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

→ Mix-ins

09 - 1 cup of white chocolate, chopped into small pieces
10 - 1 cup plus a tablespoon of frozen raspberries, partially defrosted

# Instructions:

01 - Turn your oven to 375°F (340°F if using a fan). Place parchment on baking trays and let frozen raspberries sit for 10–15 minutes to soften slightly.
02 - Cream together the butter and both sugars until smooth and fluffy. Stir in the egg and lemon zest until combined.
03 - Combine flour, salt, and baking soda by sifting them together. Mix this into the butter mixture gently until just blended.
04 - Carefully mix the white chocolate into the dough. Gently add in the raspberries, breaking them up a little as you go.
05 - Roll dough into balls about the size of golf balls. Flatten slightly on the baking trays and cook for 15 to 17 minutes, until edges look golden.
06 - Transfer trays to a cooling rack and let cookies sit for 5 minutes before moving them directly to the rack to cool fully.

# Notes:

01 - Use gluten-free flour with xanthan gum as an alternative.
02 - Soften raspberries only a bit so they don't turn mushy.
