While I like fresh raspberries, I'm honestly not a fan of artificially flavored raspberry foods. At my friend's bridal shower last week I won a bag of Hershey's Raspberry Bliss chocolates during one of the games. I tried to give them away but no one seemed to want them. I thought I would like the taste of the chocolates better if I baked them into some cookies--because cookies make everything better, right? Right!
I like the flavor of fresh raspberries and chocolate so I chopped up the chocolates and mixed them into a dark chocolate cookie dough. The cookies came out great and I actually liked how the raspberry chocolates tasted in the cookie! The cookies are chewy with a deep chocolate flavor, reminiscent of brownies. So even if you aren't a raspberry lover, you should give these cookies a try--you will be surprised at how delicious these are!
Dark Chocolate Raspberries Cookies
Makes 20 cookies
1 cup flour
3/4 cup dark cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
10 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 bag Hershey's Raspberry Bliss Chocolates, chopped
Mix the flour, salt, cocoa powder, and baking soda together in a small bowl.
Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl. Add the egg and vanilla, beat for one minute. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients and beat on low speed until well combined. Stir in the chocolates and let the dough chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350. Line cookie sheet with a silicone mat.
Drop cookies by teaspoons into the cookie sheet, 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake for 9 minutes and let cookie on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Oh, wow, these cookies look and sound AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome use for those chocolates. I love the dark chocolate/raspberry combination, and want one of these cookies already!
ReplyDeleteI really don't like artificial raspberry flavor as well. These cookies though, sound so good!
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea with the chocolates. I would never have thought of that and they would have sat on my shelf for months.
ReplyDeleteThese were soooo good! The only change that I made was that I used whole wheat flour in place of all-purpose flour to make them a bit healthier. You couldn't taste the difference!!! So easy, and so good. I second the other reviewer that said you should make a double batch because these will vanish quickly!
ReplyDeleteVery gourmet!
ReplyDeleteThese are very easy and very yummy. If you have fresh picked raspberries, just combine 3/4 cup mashed berries with 3/4 cup white sugar as the filling. I will definately make again. The recipe is so versitile that you could use any fruit or jam that you have on hand.
ReplyDeleteThese cookies sound so decadent! YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteThese cookies are looking so delicious! I just love it. Thanks for the share!
ReplyDeleteTried this recipe today, and WOW!! I couldn't believe I actually made such a delicious cookies!
ReplyDeleteChocolate+raspberry=HEAVEN. The combo is so yummy, but I rarely eat it. I should more often! Mmm
