Preparing Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies
Let’s break it down step-by-step. First, you’ll want to preheat your oven and gather your ingredients. The process is fairly straightforward and will have your home smelling delightful in no time. The key steps include creaming the butter and sugar, mixing in the wet ingredients, and finally wrapping your raspberries in cookie dough before baking. It’s a simple yet rewarding experience that yields a beautiful, delicious result.
What you’ll need
Gather these items to create your delectable cookies:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For an alternative, you can use Greek yogurt in place of cream cheese for a lighter option, and frozen raspberries can work just as well if fresh ones aren’t available.
