Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cookies

Posted by thecaramelcookie / 6 comments » / Cookies, Dessert

While I like fresh raspberries, I’m honestly not a fan of artificially flavored raspberry foods. At my friend’s bridal shower last week I won a bag of Hershey’s Raspberry Bliss chocolates during one of the games. I tried to give them away but no one seemed to want them. I thought I would like the taste of the chocolates better if I baked them into some cookies–because cookies make everything better, right? Right!

I like the flavor of fresh raspberries and chocolate so I chopped up the chocolates and mixed them into a dark chocolate cookie dough. The cookies came out great and I actually liked how the raspberry chocolates tasted in the cookie! The cookies are chewy with a deep chocolate flavor, reminiscent of brownies. So even if you aren’t a raspberry lover, you should give these cookies a try–you will be surprised at how delicious these are!

1 teaspoon vanilla
1 bag Hershey's Raspberry Bliss Chocolates, chopped

Mix the flour, salt, cocoa powder, and baking soda together in a small bowl.

Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl. Add the egg and vanilla, beat for one minute. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients and beat on low speed until well combined. Stir in the chocolates and let the dough chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
