Chocolate Raspberry Cookies

A special shout out to Deb B. She asked that I post a Christmas Cookie recipe. So, I thought I would post two! This recipe calls for fresh raspberries. I used frozen that we picked over the summer.

Chocolate Raspberry Cookies

1 cup butter; softened

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips; melted and cooled

1/2 cup fresh raspberries; pureed

3 cups flour

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup vanilla chips

1. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in melted chocolate and raspberries. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in vanilla chips.

2. Drop by teaspoonfuls about 2-inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until edges begin to brown slightly. Remove to wire racks to cool.
