Ingredients
  

Cookie Base
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 2 sticks
  • 1.25 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup dark cocoa powder (Dutch-process if available)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
Add-ins
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
  • 0.75 cup freeze-dried raspberries, gently crushed
  • 0.5 cup fresh raspberries, very gently patted dry (optional but recommended)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract. If the mixture looks slightly curdled, don't worry.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, dark cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix on low until just combined.
  5. Fold in the dark chocolate and crushed freeze-dried raspberries. If using fresh raspberries, add them last and fold gently.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 45-60 minutes.
Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Scoop 2-tablespoon balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
  3. Bake for 9-11 minutes until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. Do not overbake.
  4. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.

Notes

For an extra touch, press a few extra chocolate chips and raspberry bits on top right after baking for a better presentation.
