White Chocolate Raspberry Cookies

Submitted by Dreamgoddess

"I made these for a Christmas party and they were so pretty on the holiday tray. I love the combination of white chocolate and raspberries. I am posting the recipe as I found it and am not sure of the number of cookies this will produce as written. I made these much smaller than the recipe states so I am estimating the yield."

Every year I go through literally hundreds of recipes to find at least two new ones for my holiday cookie baskets. This one was interesting looking and something new so I tried them and they are wonderful! I got 52 cookies with a #40 scoop and I doubled the recipe. Also, I dusted them with confectioners sugar instead of the chocolate drizzle in the interest of time. My husband loved them. Thank you for posting.

Oh my these are a wonderful cookie. So lovely to look at too and so very perfect for a treat on holiday gift giving. I think I'm going to make my holiday cookietray book now so I don't forget to include these:-) I followed your recipe exact. Off to share these with family members who I promised a goodie tray too. Thanks for a keeper Dreamgoddess.:-) Made for HolidayTag.

These are delicious cookies! I had to use blackberry jam but they still tasted great. The cookie itself stays soft and the white chocolate is so yummy. Thank you for posting this. I'll have to try them again with raspberry jam. Oh, and a little jam goes a long way in these!
