White Chocolate Chip Raspberry Oatmeal Cookie Ingredients

First assemble the following ingredients:

• White sugar and Brown sugar– Use your measuring cup to scoop the sugar, so it's packed.
• Butter Let the butter sit on the counter at room temperature for about 30-minutes to soften.
• Eggs– In baking, it is best to use room temperature eggs. Pull them out of the fridge and set them out with the butter.
• Vanilla extract– we used pure vanilla extract, but you could use imitation vanilla extract as well.
• Raspberry jam– Smuckers Raspberry jam works well. You'll find the jams next to the peanut butter at your local grocery store.
• Rolled oats– Rolled oats are better for baking than quick oats because they retain their texture better than quick oats.
• Flour When measuring flour, you want to spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it out with a butter knife.
• Baking powder and soda– You will need both baking powder and baking soda for this oatmeal cookie recipe.
• White chocolate chips– we use Nestle Toll House White Chocolate chips, but you can use any brand that you prefer.
• Freeze dried raspberries– Instead of using raisins which are dried grapes, you'll use freeze dried raspberries instead. Freeze dried raspberries are a little harder to find than things like strawberries and bananas. You can easily find them at stores like Whole Foods and Amazonthough!

Steps to Make Valentine's Day Cookies

Once you have assembled the ingredients use this method:

Prep

Assemble the ingredients and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Mix

Cream the butter and both sugars together in a large mixing bowl. Then, mix in the eggs, vanilla, and raspberry jam. In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Then, gently stir in the freeze dried raspberries and white chocolate chips. Mix your wet ingredients and dry ingredients together.

Form and Refrigerate

Measure out two tablespoons of dough out for each cookie, and roll it into balls. Place the dough balls onto the baking sheets. After you've rolled all the dough into balls, place the cookie dough balls into the refrigerator for 30-minutes.

Bake

While the dough is in the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 375F. Pull the cookie dough out of the fridge, and bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Cool

Let the cookies cool. Then, serve and enjoy!

Kitchen notes

Bake: When done, the cookies should be turning a golden brown. They may be a little soft in the middle, but will harden up as they cool.

Top: If you want to add a pop of flavor and color to your cookies, sprinkle a few white chocolate chips and some chopped freeze-dried raspberries to the top of each one while they are still hot, then pop them back into the oven for another minute until the toppings are more baked in.

Let cookies finish setting on the pan: They may look a bit soft when they come out of the oven, but letting them sit on the baking sheet helps them firm up without drying out.

Don't skip parchment or silicone mats: These keep cookies from sticking, help them bake evenly, and make cleanup a breeze — a simple trick pro bakers rely on.

Freeze the dough for later baking: You can wrap and freeze shaped dough balls for up to 2 months — bake straight from the fridge when craving fresh cookies.
