Description

Delightful cookies that combine the tartness of fresh raspberries with the creamy richness of pistachios, enveloped in a light, fluffy dough.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, chopped
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs and vanilla; mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to wet ingredients.
  5. Gently fold in raspberries and pistachios.
  6. In another bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon zest until smooth.
  7. Scoop dough, place a dollop of cream cheese mixture in the center, cover with more dough, and seal edges.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are golden. Cool for 5 minutes on the sheet before transferring to wire racks.

Notes

For best results, chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking. You can freeze unbaked dough for later use.
