Tips & Tricks
Chill the Dough
Chilling the dough helps the cookies keep their shape and enhances flavor.
Use Softened Ingredients
Butter and cream cheese should be fully softened to create a smooth cookie dough.
Swirl the Jam Gently
Use a toothpick or skewer to lightly swirl the jam without fully mixing it into the dough.
Pro Tips
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Do not overbake; the centers should remain soft.
- Let cookies cool slightly before moving them to avoid breaking.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Cookie Dough
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
Add Wet Ingredients
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, then fold in the white chocolate chips.
Chill and Bake
Chill the dough for 60 minutes. Scoop dough onto a lined baking sheet, flatten slightly, add raspberry jam to the center, and swirl gently. Bake until lightly golden.
