A few days ago I was on the prowl for a new cookie recipe to try. It was pouring down rain outside and I was itching for something to do besides laundry or dusting. Do you ever have those moments?

Well I was having that moment…big time! I found this recipe for White Chocolate Raspberry Cookies (a Disneyland copycat) and knew I wanted to try them!

I began searching for a recipe that I might already have all the ingredients for in my pantry. Voila! This recipe popped up on my Pinterest feed!

I checked out the recipe because the picture of the cookies drew me in. I was excited to read through the recipe and realize that I had all the necessary ingredients! So I made them, and the rest is history. Here’s how to make white chocolate raspberry cookies.

About This Cookie

White chocolate raspberry cookies are available at Disneyland (at Pooh Corner and a few Main Street shops). I’ve never bought this cookie while at Disneyland (despite MANY times there). This original recipe was created by another blogger, and it sounded fabulous to me.

Who can resist a big old chewy cookie with not one, but TWO kinds of chocolate AND raspberry jam swirled throughout? I knew I HAD to make these white chocolate raspberry cookies right away!

To be truthful, I blame this urgency completely on our Oregon rain. When I am stuck inside and it’s raining, I like to experiment with recipes in our kitchen.

These cookies came together fairly quickly. They’re a bit messy to make, but the results are really delicious! I hope you will give these cookies a try (even if it’s not raining!). They are worth your valuable time and effort.

How To Make White Chocolate Raspberry Cookies

Preheat your oven, and whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl or stand mixer, cream the butter and sugars with an electric mixer. Now add the egg, egg yolk, vanilla and almond extracts to the dough.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix only until the ingredients are combined. Stir in the white and semi-sweet chocolate chips until they’re fully incorporated into the dough.

Semi sweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips are added to cookie dough.The dough is ready to shape into cookies!
Now Here’s The Crazy, Messy Part!

Scoop out about ¼ of the cookie dough into a small bowl (it’s easiest to work with a small bit at a time).

Add 1 TBSP of raspberry jam and “cut it” into the dough, using a butter knife. Be sure NOT to mix it in, because then the dough will turn completely pink, and frankly who wants a pink cookie?

Gently cut the jam into the dough. Think of it as stabbing the jam into the dough and dragging the knife through in a swirl, okay? Eventually you will work the jam into the dough.

Raspberry jam is added to a portion of the cookie dough.Shape The White Chocolate Raspberry Cookies

Take the jam swirled dough and drop it by large spoonfuls onto a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper. **TIP: You might find it easier (but messier) to scoop out the dough and shape it into a ball using your hands. It’s YOUR choice.

Yes, it was a bit messy, but this tip worked the best for me the next time I made this recipe. Flatten the dough balls slightly with clean hands or use the back of a spoon.

Repeat this step with the rest of the dough and jam until the cookie dough is all used. Now it’s time to bake them!

Chocolate Raspberry Cookies are formed and placed onto baking sheet.A close up view of a cookie (before baking), with raspberry jam and chocolate chips showing.Time To Bake The Cookies!

Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for 12-17 minutes (the time will depend on the size of the cookies). Keep an eye on the cookies after the 10 minute mark.

I wanted larger cookies so I cooked mine a bit longer. Remove the cookies from the oven when the edges of the cookie are set, but the center is is still slightly soft.

Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing them from pan. After 5 minutes, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. ENJOY!

Hope you enjoy these delicious white chocolate raspberry cookies! They are really good, and I really believe you are going to like them.

Thanks for stopping by, and I invite you to come back soon for more family-friendly recipes. Take care, and have a great day!

Cuisine: American
Keyword: white chocolate raspberry cookies
Servings: 20 large cookies
Calories Per Serving: 228 kcal
Author: JB @ The Grateful Girl Cooks!
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 cube), room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg , plus 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp. almond extract
  • 4 Tablespoons Raspberry Jam , heaping
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the butter, granulated and brown sugars until well combined, light and fluffy. Add egg, egg yolk, vanilla and almond extracts to this mixture. Mix well.
  3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients; mix just until combined. Stir in the white and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  4. Scoop out about 1/4 of the cookie dough into a small bowl (it's easiest to work with a small bit at a time!) Add 1 TBSP of the raspberry jam and "cut it in" to the dough, using a butter knife. Be sure NOT to mix it in, because then the dough will turn completely pink, and frankly who wants a pink cookie? Just gently cut the jam into the dough. Think of it as stabbing the jam into the dough and dragging the knife through in a swirl, okay? Eventually you will work the jam into the dough...trust me!

  5. Take the jam swirled dough and place it by large spoonfuls onto a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper. **NOTE: I started out doing big spoonfuls, but found it easier (but messier) to just scoop out the dough and shape it into a ball using my (clean) hands. Yes, it was a bit messy (think jam), but worked the best for me. Flatten the dough balls slightly with your clean hands or the back of a spoon. *Repeat this process with the rest of the dough and jam until the dough is gone.*
  6. Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for 12-17 minutes (the time will depend on the size of the cookies). Keep an eye on the cookies after the 10 minute mark. I wanted larger cookies so I cooked mine a bit longer. You want to remove them from oven when the edges of the cookie are set, but the center is slightly soft. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing them from pan. After 5 minutes, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. ENJOY!
Recipe Notes

If you make the cookies smaller, you will have a much larger quantity of cookies.

Other Names For Snowball Cookies

I’ve heard these snowball cookies referred to as Mexican Wedding Cookies, Russian Tea Cakes, Shortbread Bites, etc. Seems like everyone has a recipe and a name for them. Whatever they are called, these cookies really are little bites of “shortbread goodness”.

The snowball cookies look like little snowballs because they are round and coated with powdered sugar once baked! They seem to just melt in your mouth (just like snow), and are very easy to make.

If You Enjoy Shortbread Cookies, You Will LOVE Snowball Cookies

Snowball cookies go perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea! These decadent treats are not just for Christmas, because they can be enjoyed ANY time of year. If you enjoy shortbread, you will LOVE these cookies! Rich and buttery, with a hint of sweetness from the powdered sugar, these are one of my favorite Christmas treats!

Here’s a photo of some of the snowball cookies ready to eat… yum! I hope you will give them a try, because they are lip-smackin’ delicious!!

Time To Roll The Snowball Cookies In Powdered Sugar

The dough for snowball cookies is easy to make. Once made, the cookie dough is chilled, rolled into balls, baked, and then rolled in powdered sugar. That’s really all there is to it! And snowball cookies sure are delicious, so I bet ya can’t eat just one of ’em! YUM.

Cranberry Orange Cookies

Cranberry Orange Cookies are decadent yummy treats, flavored with cranberries, pecans, orange zest and juice, and topped with a simple orange glaze!Cranberry Orange Cookies are decadent yummy treats, flavored with cranberries, pecans, orange zest and juice, and topped with a simple orange glaze!

I used to host a Christmas Cookie Exchange for my co-workers in our home each December for many, many years, which is where I first tried these Cranberry Orange Cookies. We would have between 10-20 friends show up to participate each year.

It is so much fun to play ridiculously silly games, nibble on appetizers, visit and laugh, and see the different types of cookies each friend/co-worker made and brought to share. I always hosted this party in our home the first week of December, so it was a GREAT way to kick off the holiday season!

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

How Does A Cookie Exchange Work?

Everyone brings six dozen cookies (one kind/recipe), and brings the recipe for them, too! We divide the total number of cookies by the number of friends participating to see how many cookies (per variety) we pack in our boxes to take home!

Each person leaves with a big box with six dozen ASSORTED homemade Christmas cookies, and all of the cookie recipes! MAKE 1 KIND OF COOKIE… LEAVE WITH 15-20 KINDS OF COOKIES!

I love cookie exchanges, because we only have to cook once, but leave with a variety of delicious cookies, just in time for the holidays! Now that is my kind of party! We also play lots of crazy games, and have a blast!

Some of the cookies (including cranberry orange cookies) brought to the Christmas cookie exchange.Some of my friends at the Christmas cookie exchange.

How I Got The Recipe For Cranberry Orange Cookies

One year, my friend Valerie brought Cranberry Orange Cookies to share. I was immediately in love with the orange and cranberry flavor of these cookies, and couldn’t wait to try the recipe on my own. Winner! My friend Valerie is on the left in the photo below.

I got the recipe for the cranberry orange cookies from my friend Valerie, on the left.

I’ve made these yummy cranberry orange cookies a few times since then, and they never disappoint! They are easy to make and are DELICIOUS! The picture of the cookies I made isn’t the greatest at representing these wonderful treats, but trust me…they’re fantastic! Perfect for any time of the year! Have a great day!

Chewy dipped gingersnaps, drizzled with (or dipped in) white and/or semi-sweet chocolate glaze are classic molasses cookies your family will love!Chewy dipped gingersnaps, drizzled with (or dipped in) white and/or semi-sweet chocolate glaze are classic molasses cookies your family will love!

This is one of my all-time favorite “go-to” cookie recipes: Dipped Gingersnaps! I ALWAYS make them at Christmas to give away to family and friends. We also end up making them year-round, because they are so easy and delicious!

These delicious molasses cookies are actually soft and chewy, so I’ve never really figured out why that have the word “snap” in them. Rather than waste any brain cells trying to figure it out, I’ve found it best to just go with it. I feel I’m better for it. Hooray for dipped gingersnaps!

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

How Many Dipped Gingersnaps Will This Make?

This recipe makes approximately 14 dozen dipped gingersnaps, which is a LOT. Never fear – you can easily half the recipe, if you’re not planning to feed an entire village, or eat them all by yourself.

These cookies also freeze very well, so I usually make the whole batch at once and then freeze some for another time. The molasses and ginger flavor permeates these delicious dipped gingersnaps!  If you choose to dip them in white chocolate icing or drizzle them with glaze, you won’t be sorry!

Dipped gingersnaps can also be drizzled with white chocolate icing as decoration.

Many Ways To Make Dipped Gingersnaps

I usually dip half of the cookie in a white chocolate icing, but they can also be drizzled with a light powdered sugar glaze or semi- sweet or white chocolate glaze. Both methods for either dipping or drizzling dipped gingersnaps are included in the printable recipe below.

Dipped Gingersnaps can be drizzled with chocolate and white chocolate icing.

You can even dip them in white chocolate, then give your kids some colorful sprinkles to add on top! Look at those cute dipped gingersnaps!

Ingredients
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 TBSP. ground ginger (powder)

  • 1 tsp. salt

  • 1/4 cup shortening (Crisco)
For drizzle-glaze cookies:
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tsp. warm water (or more till glaze is slightly thin)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar and oil; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in molasses.
  3. In separate bowl, combine dry ingredients; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix this very well.
  4. Shape dough into 3/4 inch balls (roll the dough between both hands to form a ball) and then roll the cookie ball in sugar (approx 1/3 cup, more or less) in a small bowl.
  5. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookie springs back when touched lightly. Remove cookies to wire racks to cool.
  7. When completely cooled, you can either dip the cookies or drizzle a thin glaze over them...whatever you prefer. ENJOY!
  8. For dipping: Melt the vanilla chips with shortening in a small pan over low heat. Dip the cookies half way into the mixture, shake or let the excess drip off. Place on waxed paper or foil-lined baking sheets to harden.
  9. For drizzle-glazing: In small bowl, mix powdered sugar, vanilla and warm water till you have a slightly thin glaze, adding more sugar to thicken or a touch more water to thin. Place cookies on foil to catch the glaze that might run off the cookies. Drizzle the glaze on top of cookies. Let harden.
