Ingredients

Scale

For the Sugar Cookie Dough:

  • 2 ½ cups (310g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¼ cups (250g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Raspberry Swirl:

  • ½ cup fresh raspberries (or thawed frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon lemon juice (to brighten flavor)

Instructions

  1. Make the Raspberry Swirl: Mash the raspberries with sugar and optional lemon juice in a small bowl until a thick puree forms. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Cookie Dough: Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and continue beating until combined. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients until the dough forms.
  3. Add the Raspberry Swirl: Gently fold the raspberry puree into the cookie dough with a spatula, being careful not to overmix to preserve a gorgeous marbled effect with bright pink streaks.
  4. Scoop and Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls and place them a few inches apart on the sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges turn just golden.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature for delicious results.

Notes

  • Soften your butter fully as cold butter won’t cream properly.
  • Do not overmix the raspberry swirl; gentle folding keeps the marbled appearance.
  • Use fresh raspberries when possible for the best color and flavor.
  • If the dough feels too soft to handle, chill it for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake just until set; cookies firm up further as they cool.
