WHITE CHOCOLATE AND LEMON CHIP RASPBERRY COOKIES

1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 cup granulated sugar

­¾ cup brown sugar, packed

2¼ cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

2 eggs

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

¾ teaspoon raspberry oil* or 1 teaspoon raspberry extract

1 cup lemon baking chips

1 cup white chocolate chips

*I love and swear by LorAnn Oils. These are sold in stores like Bulk Barn (in Canada) or specialty bake shops. If you can't find these, you can use raspberry extract such as McCormick. 

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare cookie sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugars. Add in eggs, one at a time, until well blended. Add in vanilla and raspberry oil or extract. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir in white chocolate and lemon chips. 

Using a medium ice cream scoop with a retractable mechanism, place cookie dough on prepared cookie sheets about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10 minutes. Remove cookies from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
