Gathering Your Ingredients

  • All Purpose Flour
  • Baking Powder
  • Baking Soda
  • Salt
  • Unsalted Butter
  • Cream Cheese – Full-fat cream cheese by Philadephia is what I use. Great flavor, and is always a consistent product.
  • White Granulated Sugar
  • Freeze-dried Raspberries – This wasn’t an ingredient I could find at my local grocery store, though I live in a town of 4k people. If this is you as well, they ship quickly via amazon. If you make your own freeze-dried fruit, then you’ve already gotten a leg up!
  • Egg
  • Vanilla Extract
  • White Chocolate Chips – Any brand or your favorite brand of white chocolate chips will work here. Even a white melting chocolate or almond bark.
  • Shortening – Just a small amount is used to mix in with the white chocolate drizzle.

Kitchen Supplies I Use

How To Make White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies

In a food processor blend your freeze-dried fruit into a powder. Any lumps that may hang around are okay. Even if you want to pulverize them only slightly, this will work as well.

In a medium mixing bowl sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the freeze-dried berries, whisk then set aside.

In a large bowl cream together your room temperature cream cheese and sugar with a hand mixer. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and beat to combine. (Note: A stand mixer may come in handy when adding the flour, as this cookie dough is a bit tougher to work with. If you continue without a stand mixer, using a hefty wooden spoon will be best.)

Add half of the flour mixture to the large mixing bowl, and mix to combine. Add the second half, and mix to combine.

Use a small cookie scoop or ice cream scoop to place your cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, leaving 2 inches of space between each one. Gently press down to flatten slightly.

Refrigerate cheesecake cookies for at least 15 minutes while you preheat the oven.

Preheat your oven to 350 F. Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. The shape of your cookies won’t change too much while baking.

Prepare your white chocolate for drizzling or dipping by placing your white chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 1 minute, and stir; heat in 30-second increments after this until completely melted (adding additional ground freeze-dried raspberries will naturally change the color of the white chocolate). Dip your cookies or drizzle over before enjoying!

Storage Recommendations

Once cooled, store cookies in an airtight container placed at either room temperature or refrigerate depending on how quickly you plan on eating them!

They’re best when eaten within 3 days but can last up to 5 days if allowed to stay cool.

Freeze left over cookies in a freezer bag or an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Recipe Variations

  • Switch out white chocolate chips for dark chocolate chips.
  • Increase or decrease cookie size by using bigger/smaller scoops of dough.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use fresh raspberries?

I do not recommend using fresh raspberries. The moisture content would result in a different cookie altogether. You can, instead, use freeze dried raspberries as is without processing in a food processor.

Expert Tips :

  • Chilling dough prior to baking helps prevent spread during baking.
  • Use parchment paper beneath baked goods whenever possible to promote even browning across the entire surface and to prevent sticking while cooking and cooling.
  • Try adding almond extract that will compliment the raspberry & white chocolate combination to create a unique depth flavor.
