Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies with Chocolate Chips

Raspberry cheesecake cookies are a completely portable way to get all of summer’s and dessert’s favorite flavors in a tiny package.

This from-scratch recipe uses fresh raspberries and pantry ingredients, not a boxed mix.

Highlighting Summer’s Best

Fresh raspberries are some of the best part of summer seasonal eating. They’re only here for a short bit and while we can (and should) eat our body weight in the fresh berries, it is sometimes fun to try them in new recipes.

Switch Up the Berries

While I didn’t test it, I can’t see why most any berry wouldn’t work in these cookies. Chop large berries, leave small ones whole. Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies has a nice ring to it…

I think these cookies would be amazing with a mix of berries if you happen to have a bunch on hand.

Go with what you have or family favorites.

Switch Up the Chocolate

I went with regular semi-sweet chocolate chips in the original recipe. However, white chocolate, milk chocolate or any combination would lovely. Again, go with what you have or family favorites.

Good Frozen Keepers

These are a soft cookie and they freeze delightfully well for longer storage. Keep them in an airtight freezer container and eat up within 6 months.

Because they are a soft cookie even when frozen they would make for delicious ice cream sandwiches. Simply put a scoop of your favorite ice cream between two and enjoy. Alternatively, wrap and freeze the sandwiches for eating later.

Options for Decorating your Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies

These are simple, soft and fluffy cookie. They are amazing in just that way. However, if you’d like to fancy them up for a party or something you have options.

Drizzle some melted chocolate over the tops of the cooled cookies. Use either dark or white chocolate.

Soft cookies like these Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies truly are just mini cakes. So treat them as such and frost them with some simple vanilla or chocolate frosting.

Want to Use Frozen Raspberries?

To use frozen raspberries, let them thaw and drain the liquid completely before adding them to the batter. Otherwise, you’ll likely have way too much moisture in the cookies.

What could I substitute for the chocolate chips. Could I just leave them out.

You can use absolutely leave them out - it will result in fewer cookies but that's all. Otherwise feel free to add some nuts or seeds instead.

Could I use raspberry jam instead?

Maybe. I didn't test it with jam, so I can't say for sure.
