# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The way tart raspberries cut through intense dark chocolate creates the most sophisticated flavor profile that still feels like pure comfort
  • These cookies manage to be both richly decadent and surprisingly bright, making them impossible to stop eating
02 -
  • Overworking the dough once the flour is added makes these cookies tough instead of tender and chewy
  • Pressing extra raspberries into the tops of the dough mounds before baking makes them look absolutely gorgeous
03 -
  • If your raspberries are very large, cut them in half before folding into the dough for better distribution throughout each cookie
  • Room temperature ingredients are crucial here because cold butter or eggs wont cream properly and affects the final texture
