- Raspberries: You can you use fresh or defrosted frozen raspberries.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Here is how to make and bake these Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies. This recipe requires an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
The full recipe is down below in the recipe card.
Before starting, preheat the oven to 175ºC/ 350ºF conventional oven. Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
STEP 1: If using frozen raspberries, defrost them and mash them into a purée. Add the graham crackers to a small plastic bag and crush them into crumbs and bring the butter to room temperature. In a bowl, sift together all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
STEP 2: In a separate large mixing bowl combine the brown sugar and granulated sugar and butter. Using an electric hand whisk, whisk it together for 3 minutes, so it becomes light and fluffy.
STEP 3: Add the egg and vanilla extract mix it in. Then add the dry ingredients and mix it together until combined.
STEP 4: Lastly add the mashed raspberry on top of the cookie dough and with a butter knife, swirl it into the cookie dough.
STEP 5: Using a medium size cookie scoop (2,5 tbsp/ 1.33 ounce cookie scoop), scoop out 6 cookies at a time per prepared baking sheet. Press the cookie dough slightly down so they have a flat top. Bake one baking sheet at a time for 11-13 minutes.
STEP 6: Once baked let them cool down on the baking tray for 5-10 minutes as they still will be soft when they are done. After they have cooled down a bit, use a spatula to lift them into a cooling rack and let them cool down completely.
STEP 7: Once the cookies have cooled down, mix all the ingredients for the cheesecake filling together in a medium bowl with an electric hand mixer. With a small cookie scoop (1,5 tbsp/ 0,75 ounce cookie scoop), scoop about the frosting on each cookie. With an off-set spatula even out the frosting. Decorate with extra cookie crumbs and fresh raspberries.
EXPERT BAKING TIPS
- Use a kitchen scale: My default setting for my recipes is grams. It is the most precise way of measuring out your ingredients, I therefore highly recommend using a kitchen scale.
- Don't over mix your batter: I always use a spatula after everything has mixed together, to give it one final gentle fold together. This makes sure everything in the bottom of the mixing bowl has been mixed into the batter.
- Light vs. dark baking pans: For the best result, use an aluminum baking pan, greased with butter and lined with baking paper in the bottom. Aluminum pans are light in color and therefore attract less heat. That means it bakes more gently which results in a softer cake. If you use a black baking pan it'll attract a lot more heat. That will then give a darker crust, which can result in a dryer cake.

I was following the directions and missed the step about putting the graham cracker crumbs into the cookie dough. That part wasn’t clear, hope they still turn out, they look and smell awesome but they won’t have the grahams in the cookies itself. Oops!
