EASY Gourmet Chocolate & Raspberry Cookies 🍪

These delicious jumbo white & milk
chocolate chip cookies are enhanced
 with swirls of seedless raspberry jam.

                                       

Ingredients:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 cup packed brown sugar

2/3 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

2 egg yolks

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

4 cups flour

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

4 cups flour

4 teaspoons cornstarch

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips

1 cup milk chocolate chips

4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) seedless raspberry jam

Method:

In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugars for 3 minutes or until the mixture is light and creamy.

Add the eggs, yolks and vanilla. Mix just until combined.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Add to the creamed mixture and mix until completely combined.

Fold in the white and milk chocolate chips.

Drop individual tablespoons of the jam onto different areas of the dough. Carefully swirl with a knife or bowl scraper through the dough, being careful not to overmix and prevent the dough from turning pink.

Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour of overnight.

Preheat oven to 350*. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

To make standard sized cookies, use a 2 tablespoon scoop to measure portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are a golden color.

To make jumbo cookies, use a 1/4 cup scoop and bake for 14 minutes or until the cookies are set and the edges are golden.

Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheets for 5 to 10 minutes before transfering to a rack to cool completely.

Makes 8 dozen regular sized cookies and 2 dozen jumbo cookies. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks.

Regular sized cookies

Notes: 

These cookies filled the home with a delicious aroma! They  taste great warm, but I think the flavor and texture are improved after they are chilled. 🍪 (Plus, they are simple to make.)

For a smaller batch of cookies, reduce the ingredients by half.
