Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 (15.25 ounce) vanilla cake mix
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- 6 ounces fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375˚F (190˚C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, softened cream cheese, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add White Chocolate and Raspberries: Gently stir the white chocolate chips into the batter by hand. Then carefully fold in the fresh raspberries to avoid crushing them.
- Shape Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of the cookie dough onto a cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9 to 10 minutes, or until the centers are set and no longer shiny on top.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 2 to 3 minutes to firm up slightly, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Be gentle when folding in the raspberries to keep them from breaking apart and turning the dough pink.
- Use fresh raspberries for the best texture and flavor; frozen may release excess moisture.
- Cookies may spread slightly, so maintain adequate spacing on the baking sheet.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and white chocolate chips with vegan alternatives.
