Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk for dry ingredients
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 baking sheet lined with parchment paper
  • 1 microwave-safe bowl for melting chocolate

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp freeze-dried raspberries finely crushed
  • 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
  • 1 tsp coconut oil or butter optional
  • 3-4 tbsp crushed freeze-dried raspberries

Instructions
 

  • Cream softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, salt, and finely crushed freeze-dried raspberries.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to help maintain its shape.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Roll the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  • Cut the dough into heart shapes and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies for 10–12 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely before dipping.
  • Melt the dark chocolate and optional coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  • Dip half of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate.
  • Place the dipped cookies on parchment paper and immediately sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried raspberries.
  • Let the chocolate set at room temperature or chill for 15–20 minutes until firm.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for a glossy finish.
  • Sprinkle raspberry pieces before chocolate sets for vibrant color.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For cleaner edges, gently tap off excess chocolate before setting.
