Key Ingredients & Tips for Healthy Raspberry Cookies
- Fresh or Frozen Raspberries: You can use either fresh or frozen berries for these cookies. If you use frozen raspberries, add them directly to the dough without thawing to prevent too much moisture.
- Don’t Overmix the Dough: Mix the dough just until everything comes together. Overmixing the flour can make your cookies tough, so be gentle after adding the dry ingredients.
What You Need for Healthy Raspberry Cookies
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup rolled oats

- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar

How to Make Healthy Raspberry Cookies
Step 1: Get Ready to Bake
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps prevent your cookies from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Stir these ingredients together until they are well mixed.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a larger bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until everything is smooth and combined.
Step 4: Bring the Dough Together
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until everything comes together. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the fresh or frozen raspberries, being careful not to crush them too much.
Step 5: Bake Your Cookies
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let them cool on the sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
📝 Final Note
Store these healthy raspberry cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They are best enjoyed fresh!

How to Make White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies
Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set this filling aside for later.
Step 2: Start Your Cookie Dough
In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate, large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with ¾ cup granulated sugar and light brown sugar until it’s light and fluffy. Beat in the large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3: Finish the Cookie Dough
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Then, gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
Step 4: Assemble the Cookies
Take about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it in your hand. Place a small spoonful of the cream cheese filling in the center, then top with 1-2 fresh raspberries. Carefully form the cookie dough around the filling to seal it completely. Place the assembled cookie on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat for all cookies.
Step 5: Chill and Bake
Place the baking sheets with the cookies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. While the dough chills, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the chilled cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
📝 Final Note
Let these homemade white chocolate raspberry cheesecake cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before moving them. The cheesecake filling will set more as they cool. They are best stored in the refrigerator.
