Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F..

Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, sift together flour and salt, set aside.

In a mixer bowl, cream butter, add cream cheese and beat until light and fluffy. Add sugar, beat until well incorporated. Add the egg and flavorings.

Beat in flour until just combined.

Add chocolate, beat in. Then add the frozen raspberries. I kept them frozen so it would be easier. This increased the baking time a bit.

Use a medium scoop and drop cookies onto prepared pans.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until slightly brown around the edges
Makes a dozen and a half cookies.
