White chocolate raspberry cookies are a match made in flavor heaven! These are more wholesome than traditional cookies, 100% whole grain, and free of eggs and butter. They can double as a breakfast cookie!
If you loved the peanut butter banana blueberry breakfast cookies I shared on Instagram awhile back you will love these white chocolate raspberry cookies. They’re similarly wholesome: 100% whole grain, free of eggs and butter.
If you can find dairy-free white chocolate chips you can make them totally vegan. Nestlé has a new allergen-free option but I haven’t tried them yet.
Ingredients for White Chocolate Raspberry Cookies
- flaxseed + soy milk to make a flax “egg” that works great as high-fiber, pantry staple substitute. You can sub your preferred milk or milk alternative.
- almond butter & coconut oil in place of the butter. I love butter, but I wanted to keep these a little bit more wholesome.
- brown sugar – my baking sweetener of choice. I scaled back on the sugar because the raspberries and white chocolate chips are plenty sweet.
- vanilla extract for flavor
- rolled oats & white whole wheat flour to bring that whole grain goodness. I love the nuttiness and texture.
- baking soda & powder
- kosher salt to really bring out the flavor
- fresh raspberries, which give such a great pop of color and juicy sweetness!
- white chocolate chips. They pair wonderfully with the raspberries.
I am totally obsessed with how these turned out. Adding fresh fruit to cookies is an unexpected but fantastic add-in. I thought about using freeze-dried at one point and I’m sure that would work great in a pinch. In the peak of summer though, why not use fresh?
The raspberries definitely add moisture to the batter so be sure to follow my two important tips below so these turn out great for you every time.
Two Key Steps to Success
There are two key steps that you absolutely should not skip when making these:
- Let the dough rest after mixing. It’s on the wet side at first, but as you let it sit it thickens up and transforms into the perfect consistency. Give it at least 10 minutes.
- Chill the cookies once cooled. At a minimum, let them cool completely or you’ll risk them falling apart. But if you really want to take these over the top, be sure to chill them. I store leftovers in the fridge and the texture is thick and chewy once cold. Since they’re a whole grain cookie and (mostly) vegan, this helps hold everything together.
White Chocolate Raspberry Cookies FAQs
I haven’t tried it, but it should work just fine.
Absolutely. Try real milk, almond milk, oat milk, etc. All will work.
As long as the consistency is “drippy” and it’s not the no-stir type, any nut butter will work but the flavor profile will change. I think the almond butter works really well with the raspberries and white chocolate but give peanut butter a try if you don’t have any on hand. Cashew butter could also be really nice!
I haven’t tested these with almond flour, but I think they would fall apart if you subbed it 1:1 for the whole wheat unless you added some other type of binder.
These are a such a nice change from traditional cookie flavors, and perfect while summer berries are tasting great. Trust me when I say you need these in your life!

- Whisk oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients; mix until just combined.

Notes
- The equipment section above provides affiliate links to things I use often in my kitchen and love.
- The resting time in step 6 is very important in the success of these cookies. I’ve tried skipping it, but they tend to fall apart because the dough is too wet.
- These are delicious straight out of the oven, but they’re especially good after cooling and chilling. They get a thick, chewy texture. I know it sounds strange but you have to trust me on this!

These are so good! Used fresh raspberries from our backyard and followed the recipe as written. Only substitution I had to make was using confetti white chocolate chips because that’s what was in my cupboard, but I don’t think this changed the taste too much. I’ll be making these whenever we pick enough berries!
