Main ingredient: egg
Pairs well with: toast, hash browns, fruit salad, bacon, avocado
Ingredients
- ½ cup freeze-dried raspberries
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup rye flour
- ¾ tsp. baking soda
- ¾ tsp. salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg plus 1 large yolk
- 1 Tbsp. pure vanilla extract
- 2 oz. raspberries
Method
- Heat the oven to 350°F with a rack in the middle, and line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Process the freeze-dried raspberries in a food processor until they reduce to a fine powder.
- Whisk the all-purpose flour, rye flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl, then whisk the raspberry powder through the dry ingredients.
- Beat the butter in a stand mixer on medium speed for about 1 minute until creamy, add the brown and granulated sugars, and beat for 2 to 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, the extra yolk and the vanilla until combined, then add the raspberry flour mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Roll the dough into balls of about 1½ ounces (2 tablespoons), tucking a fresh raspberry or two into the center of each as it is shaped, and set 10 balls on each prepared pan.
- Bake one pan at a time for 10 to 11 minutes, rotating it halfway, until the sides are set and just turning light golden brown.
- Tap the pan once on the oven rack as it comes out, then leave the cookies to cool completely on the pan before moving them.
