White Chocolate Raspberry Cookies

Achieving the perfect balance in a white chocolate raspberry cookie
Ideally, use frozen or freeze-dried raspberries . Fresh raspberries release too much juice, which can make the pastry soggy. If you use fresh raspberries, add them at the last minute, while they are still very cold, and handle the pastry as little as possible to prevent them from bursting.
The moisture from the fruit softens the dough. To compensate, let your dough balls rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or 20 minutes in the freezer) before baking. A very cold dough will set more quickly in the oven, sealing in the fruit and white chocolate.
Yes, and it’s even recommended! White chocolate is quite sweet. For perfect balance, you can reduce the amount of brown sugar by 15g and add a pinch of fleur de sel . The salt and the acidity of the raspberry will cut through the sometimes overly sweet flavor of the white chocolate.
For a stunning color contrast, don’t mix all the white chocolate pieces together. Reserve a few raspberry chips and pieces to arrange on top just before baking. The vibrant red of the raspberries against the ivory white of the chocolate is visually irresistible.
