Raspberry Cookies

These Raspberry Cookies are soft and chewy eggless sugar cookies that are made with frozen raspberries! They’re fluffy in the middle and crunchy on the edges; the perfect combo! Best yet, the tartness from the raspberries and the sweetness from the sugar cookie base create the perfect paring of flavors! If that wasn’t enough, they’re gluten free, nut free and easily vegan!!! Unlike many eggless cookies that go stale very quickly, these beauties stay soft for days!

Irresistible Raspberry Cookies infused with luscious raspberries and coated perfectly in sugar.

These raspberry cookies could not be more gorgeous if they tried! If you’re a raspberry lover, these babies are for you! They have a mild tart raspberry flavor throughout while still tasting sweet like my Small Batch Sugar Cookies! Thanks to all the moisture from the raspberries, these beauties stay soft for days!

For more fruity sugar cookie recipes, try my super popular Strawberry Sugar Cookies, my Lemon Sugar Cookies, my Blueberry Cookies, my Lemon Raspberry Cookies and my Lemon Blueberry Cookies.Jump to:

Reasons to Love These Cookies

  • Allergy Friendly- These cookies are gluten free, nut free, egg free and can easily be dairy free (vegan)!
  • Soft & Chewy- These cookies are the most perfect texture. 
  • Covered in Sugar- The sugar coating gives a nice crunch and sweetness just like with our Fruity Pebbles Cookies! 
  • Beautiful Color- You can make these beauties with or without food coloring. If you choose food coloring, they have a nice darker mauve tone. If you go with zero food coloring, the red raspberry syrup in the dough give the base a lovely yet very pale mauve color! The chopped frozen raspberries added into the dough create those gorgeous splashes of that dark magenta/crimson!

Ingredient Notes

Gluten free flour, butter, red food coloring, granulated sugar, cornstarch, frozen raspberries, milk, kosher salt, cornstarch water, and baking powder in separate containers.
  • Gluten Free Flour- If you also have nut allergies, make sure to use a brand that’s made in a nut free facility.  I really love to use this gluten free flour because it’s nut safe but it does contain dairy. It also contains xanthan gum which really helps give baked goods their bounce.
  • Cornstarch- This little bit of cornstarch mixed into the flour prevents the cookies from spreading. Without it, the cookies will spread out when baking.
  • Milk- If there are no dairy allergies or if you’re not vegan, you can use regular whole milk. For non dairy, use a non dairy milk of your choosing. 
  • Unsalted Butter or Vegan Baking Sticks- Don’t use melted; the cookies will spread into a giant mess.
  • Cornstarch and Water- These cookies have no egg so this mixture helps bind everything together. Yes, you need this in addition to the cornstarch mixed into the gf flour.
  • Raspberries- You must use frozen raspberries for when you add them into the batter and they must be chopped into tiny pieces. Eggless cookies want to spread and if you use fresh raspberries or frozen raspberries that are not chopped, there will be too much moisture. The dough will become a slimy wet mess and will spread out into a liquid disaster when baking. For making the raspberry syrup, I also use frozen.

See my recipe card below for a complete list of the ingredients with measurements.

Substitutions and Variations

How to Make these Vegan

  • Use a gluten free flour that’s free from dairy.
  • Make sure the brand of sugar you use is vegan. 
  • Use vegan baking sticks instead of butter.
  • Only use a non dairy milk of choice.
  • If using red food coloring, make sure the red food coloring is made in a vegan facility or is plant based.

How to Make this Recipe with All Purpose Flour

  • Use 2 packed cups of regular flour (336 grams).
  • You still need to chill the dough due to the lack of eggs.

How to Make Smaller Cookies 

  • Use a small cookie scoop or roll the dough into 1 inch balls. 
  • Bake the cookies at the same temperature but for 13 minutes. Reshape as needed. Should make 24 cookies.

What these look like Without Food Coloring

The images below are what the cookies will look like without any food coloring.

This recipe has not been tested with some of these substitutions and/or variations due to celiac disease and food allergies. If you change any of the ingredients, please let us know how the recipe turned out in the comments below!

How to Make Raspberry Cookies

Here are the step by step instructions to make this raspberry cookie recipe!

Make the Raspberry Syrup and Chop the Extra Raspberries

Step 1: Heat the Raspberries and Granulated Sugar 

In a saucepan set over medium heat, cook the ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1 cup of raspberries, stirring constantly, until they are broken down and syrupy. About 10 min. It will still appear a little chunky and that’s fine. 

Step 2: Strain the Raspberries 

Set a mesh colander over a bowl. Pour the raspberry liquid through the strainer and set aside to let cool. There should be about 2-3 tablespoons of raspberry syrup once it’s strained.

Step 3: Chop the Raspberries

Measure out ½ cup frozen raspberries. Rough chop the raspberries into small pieces. Be careful not to over chop; you don’t want a puddle of raspberry pulp. 

Place the chopped raspberries into a freezer safe bowl and pop back into the freezer until you’re ready to add them into the dough.

Make the Cookies 

Step 1: Whisk Together the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, baking powder, 1.5 tablespoons of cornstarch and salt. Set aside. 

Step 2: Make the Cornstarch Water

In a small bowl, using a spoon, mix together the remaining 2 heaping tablespoons of cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water until thin and watery. It will be thick and tacky at first.

Step 3: Cream the Sugar

In a large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter or vegan baking stick and 1 ¼ cups of the sugar until it is soft and creamy. About 2-3 minutes.

 Step 4:  Add in the other Wet Ingredients

Slowly beat the cornstarch water mixture, milk, the cooled strained raspberry liquid (about 2-3 tablespoons) into the creamed butter and sugar. It will look pink and chunky.

Step 5: Add in the Dry Ingredients, Chopped Raspberries and Freeze the Dough 

Slowly beat in the gluten free flour mixture a little at a time until just combined. 

If desired, add in 3-4 drops of red food coloring and mix into the dough so it is blended throughout. 

Gently using a spatula, fold in the frozen chopped raspberries. The dough will become a lovely marbled pink color. Be careful not to mix too much or the dough will become slimy.

Keep the dough in the bowl, cover the top with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 1 hour. You must not skip this step or the cookies will spread everywhere and it must be frozen, not in the fridge.

Step 6: Scoop the Dough and Coat with Sugar 

After the dough has been in the freezer for at least 1 hour, use an ice cream scoop or a large cookie scoop to make large cookies. It makes 12 scoops. 

Roll each dough ball in the extra 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar to coat completely.

Step 7: Bake the Cookies

Place dough balls about 3-4 inches apart on the parchment lined baking sheet. Bake the cookies at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes. 

Store extra dough balls in the freezer while the rest are baking if they don’t all fit. I only bake 6 at a time. 

Immediately reshape the cookies when they come out of the oven by using a spatula to push them into a circle shape and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 min before transferring to a cooling rack. If you don’t do this, the cookies will break apart into a giant mess.

The Talpurs and Their Conquest of Sindh

The Talpurs are a prominent Baloch tribe that played a significant role in the history of Sindh, a region in present-day Pakistan. Their rule over Sindh, which lasted from 1783 to 1843, was marked by both political and cultural achievements. This article delves into the origins of the Talpurs, their migration to Sindh, and their eventual conquest of the region.

Origins and Migration

The Talpurs trace their lineage back to Mir Tala Khan, a notable figure in Baloch history. The tribe is part of the larger Sindhi Baloch community, and their migration to Sindh is closely tied to the historical events of the 18th century. The first significant migration of the Talpurs into Sindh occurred during the invasion of Nadir Shah in the early 18th century. Following this, they settled in northern Sindh and rapidly assimilated into the local culture, adopting the Sindhi language.

The Rise to Power

The Talpurs’ rise to power in Sindh was facilitated by their strategic alliance with the Kalhora dynasty, which was then ruling the region. Initially invited by the Kalhoras to help discipline the unruly Baloch tribes in Sindh, the Talpurs soon established themselves as a formidable force. Their influence grew, and they eventually challenged the Kalhora rule.

The decisive moment came in 1783 with the Battle of Halani. Led by Mir Fateh Ali Khan, the Talpurs emerged victorious over the Kalhoras, marking the beginning of their reign in Sindh. This victory was not only military but also political, as it led to the recognition of Mir Fateh Ali Khan by the Durani king, who accepted him as the ruler of Sindh, albeit with the condition of paying tribute.

Governance and Administration

The Talpurs established a unique system of governance known as “The Chauyari,” which involved sharing power among four brothers. Mir Fateh Ali Khan became the Principal Amir, while his brothers governed different regions of Sindh. This arrangement aimed to prevent internal conflicts and ensure stability. The Talpurs also divided Sindh into several districts, each governed by a member of the royal family.

During their rule, the Talpurs made significant contributions to the region. They added territories such as Karachi, Omarkot, and Shikarpur to Sindh, built defensive forts on its borders, and constructed irrigation canals to boost agriculture. Their rule also saw the encouragement of commerce and the establishment of Sindh’s independence from Afghanistan.

The End of Talpur Rule

The Talpur rule in Sindh came to an abrupt end in 1843 with the British conquest. The British, under General Charles James Napier, invaded Sindh with a superior force and defeated the Talpurs at the Battle of Miani. The British annexed Sindh, making it the first territorial possession of the East India Company in present-day Pakistan.

The British conquest was facilitated by a series of treaties and agreements that gradually eroded the Talpurs’ sovereignty. For instance, the Treaty of Eternal Friendship in 1807 excluded the French from Sindh, while the Treaty of 1832 allowed British traders unrestricted passage through the region. The Subsidiary Alliance of 1839 further weakened the Talpurs by stationing British troops in Sindh and forbidding them from negotiating with foreign governments without British consent.

Conclusion

The Talpurs’ rule in Sindh was a period of significant political and cultural development. Their rise to power, marked by the decisive victory at Halani, and their governance, characterized by the Chauyari system, left a lasting impact on the region. However, their rule was ultimately overshadowed by the British conquest, which brought an end to their reign. The Talpurs’ legacy, however, remains an important chapter in the history of Sindh and Pakistan.

Angry Man Causes Plane to Deplane Over Crying Baby

Even with all our modern technology, traveling can still be tricky. Things like bad weather or mistakes by people can make simple trips not so fun. For example, when you fly on a plane, you might end up stuck inside for a long time. And sometimes, things like bumpy rides, noisy kids, or people being rude can make the journey uncomfortable.

There was a video taken on a plane of someone who got really mad because a baby was crying. Even though we get why they were upset, it’s not right to take it out on the flight crew or other passengers. The video of the angry person’s outburst was so funny that lots of people liked watching it online.

Many things about flying can make someone really stressed out.

Flying can be stressful, and it might make people really upset, which is called “air rage.” Scientists are trying to figure out why flying makes people so mad. They asked a bunch of passengers what bothered them the most. The top answers were feeling stuck and being around others. These things often cause fights and chaos on planes. You can find lots of videos of these situations on TikTok and other websites. It’s important to learn how to stay calm and be nice to others while traveling.

Acting out like this isn’t very grown-up and can be dangerous. But it’s also important to understand the whole situation. Air travel isn’t just about being on a plane. Airports can be stressful places outside of cities. There’s checking in, security, waiting in lines, and flights that often mean waking up early. And there are lots of other people dealing with the same stuff. All the noise, hunger, tiredness, and smells can feel like little annoyances adding up. Being mature means not making these problems someone else’s fault. But it’s not fair to expect a baby to understand that.

Getting on a plane can be tough. You might wait in lines at the airport, and when you finally get on the plane, you might see people sitting in first class all comfy already. That might make you feel jealous and mad, especially if something goes wrong, like the flight being late. And if you’re in a small seat in economy class, it can make things even worse. But it’s not right to take your anger out on the crew or other passengers.
