These cookies are the perfect treat for Valentine’s Day! If you are a chocolate chip cookie lover like me these are the perfect extra fancy cookie for a special occasion. I made these for our family and we couldn’t stop eating them! They were so chewy and delicious! The raspberry adds a delicious tartness! These cookies are no harder to make than a regular chocolate chip or chocolate chunk cookie. I think that is what I love about them! They are simply simple! They are also very pretty to look at!

Variations:
This recipe is versatile in the fruity flavor. Obviously this is just a play on a chocolate chip cookie. The freeze-dried raspberries add a nice tartness to this recipe. I have also done this same recipe with freeze-dried strawberries. The strawberries are slightly sweeter and less tart, but they are also good. Really any freeze dried fruit that you would like to turn into a powder can be added into this recipe instead of the raspberries.
Melted Butter versus Softened Butter:
Melted Butter- If you like a crunchier/thinner cookie, melt your butter before mixing it in with your sugar. This will allow the cookies to spread faster in the oven. This will make a softer/sticker dough so don’t be alarmed.
Softened Butter- If you like a thicker/chewy cookie, soften your butter before mixing it in with your sugar. This will slow down the process of the cookies spreading out in the oven.

Saving them for later:
These cookies are pretty simple to keep and save for later. Simply seal them in an airtight container and they will keep for a week. If you want to save them longer they will keep in the freezer for up to a month. Make sure to set them out 8 hours prior to serving if you keep them in the freezer.
