Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • cups all-purpose flour 233 grams
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt such as Diamond Crystal or scant ½ teaspoon fine salt

Adds:

  • 2 ounces white chocolate (65 grams) broken into pieces, plus 1 to 2 ounces for topping
  • 1 cup freeze-dried raspberries (23 grams) whole berries broken into smaller pieces, plus more for topping

Wet Ingredients:

  • 14 tbsp unsalted butter 194 grams
  • 1 cup packed dark or light brown sugar 188 grams
  • ½ cup granulated sugar 95 grams
  • 1 large egg plus 1 egg white at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, cook the butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until blondish brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a mixing bowl and let cool to room temperature.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the white chocolate and freeze-dried raspberries. Use a flexible spatula, stir to evenly distribute ingredients.
  • To the cooled butter, add both sugars, the egg and egg white and vanilla and whisk until very smooth and pale brown, at least 1 minute.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and stir just until combined. Scoop the dough into 8 to 10 even portions (90 to 125 grams each). You also can form smaller balls. Place the dough balls onto a large plate or quarter sheet pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight and up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to bake, bring the cookie dough to room temperature. Line 2 to 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the dough balls 3 inches apart (3 to 4 per sheet) and flatten each to an inch thickness with the palm of your hand.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees, with a rack in the center.
  • Bake one pan at a time, rotating halfway through, until the cookies have browned slightly at the edges and look dry in the centers, 12 to 15 minutes. While they’re still hot, press a shard of white chocolate in the center of each cookie, then sprinkle with more crumbled freeze-dried raspberries.
  • Let the cookies cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. The cooled cookies will keep fresh in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
