Description
Soft, creamy cookies with a cheesecake-like texture, studded with sweet white chocolate chips and tangy freeze-dried raspberries. These easy cake-mix cookies bake quickly and deliver a rich raspberry cheesecake flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (15.25-ounce) box vanilla cake mix
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 (1.25-ounce) bag freeze-dried raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the slightly beaten egg and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
- Add the vanilla cake mix and white chocolate chips, mixing until the dough is evenly combined.
- Gently fold in the freeze-dried raspberries, taking care not to crush them too much.
- Use a 2-tablespoon scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies apart. Lightly press the tops of each cookie.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, until the edges are set while the centers remain slightly soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overbake; the centers should look slightly underbaked for the soft cheesecake-like texture.
- Freeze-dried raspberries work best because they add flavor without adding excess moisture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days due to the cream cheese.
- For extra flavor, add a few extra white chocolate chips on top of each cookie before baking.
- Cookies can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
