Cookie of the Day: Chocolate Raspberry

Sigh.  The name of this cookie is so full of promise.  While I was baking I was excited about my prospects of cookie perfection.  It's basically the Toll House recipe that's been tweaked to incorporate melted semi-sweet chocolate and fresh raspberry puree.  Unfortunately, the elegance of these ingredients did not shine in the final product.  Neither flavor really sings hidden in the plain cookie-ness of this cookie.  Sure, the cookie is tasty and they go great with a glass of cold milk.

The average score of this cookie was a seven out of ten.  Good, but not good enough to be anybody's favorite.    It's unlikely that anyone will ask me to bake them again.

Tips: 1/2 cup of pureed raspberries is equal to one of those six ounce containers of berries that you get at the grocery store.  If you have raspberries in your yard, just use a scant cup.

I think that this recipe may be improved if you add in another cup of semi-sweet chips when you add in the white chocolate.  Your tongue will be looking for more chocolate if you don't.
