Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (120g) fresh raspberries

Crumble Topping

  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup (76g) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crumbly dough: Cream softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar until fluffy and pale, then mix in vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the butter mixture to form a soft dough.
  2. Make the crumble topping: Combine brown sugar, flour, and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This topping adds a buttery crunch and sweet depth to the cookies.
  3. Assemble the cookies: Gently fold fresh raspberries into the dough, being careful not to crush them. Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet. Generously top each mound with the crumble mixture for that signature texture.
  4. Bake to perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-18 minutes or until edges turn golden and the crumble topping is crisp. Let cookies cool slightly on the tray before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for a smooth, creamy dough that mixes evenly without overworking.
  • Handle raspberries gently to avoid turning the dough pink or mushy.
  • If dough feels too sticky, chill it for 20 minutes before baking for better shaping.
  • Use fresh raspberries; frozen berries add moisture and may alter cookie texture.
  • Don’t overbake — cookies should be set but still soft in the middle for a perfect chewy bite.
