Miss H's fantasmic raspberry white-chocolate (gluten free!) cookies

Miss H woke up in a much better mood than she'd been in before her nap. Hallelujah!

The first thing she asked was if we could make cookies. I told her yes, because 1.) I wanted to keep her quiet and away from J and baby B who were napping and 2.) who doesn't love cookies?

Typically when we make "cookies" they are almond butter date nut cookies (betcha can't guess what's in those!). But we had tons of fresh berries, so I suggested we make some blueberry cookies (and I'd seen a promising looking recipe on Pinterest). But...my computer was too slow and she was getting antsy, so I decided we'd come up with our own cookie recipe.

And it turned out mighty magnificent! Oh, and we totally did not use blueberries. She decided, right before she was to dump them into the mix, that she wanted raspberries instead. So that's what we went with.

But I'll share our kick-butt recipe, because they are seriously addictive! Even J ate handfuls of them, and he rarely does that with treats.

Ingredients:
1 cup room temperature butter
1 cup turbando sugar (I am sure brown sugar could easily be substituted, and white sugar probably would be fine. I'd avoid liquid sweeteners [honey, agave, etc.] as it will make the batter much too sticky, as it is all ready sticky as is.)
3-4tbsp of lemon juice (we didn't actually measure this, just winged it)
2 duck eggs (chicken will obviously work too! You might need to do 2 eggs + 1 yolk...)
3 cups of gluten-free baking flour
1/2 tsp of baking soda
1/2 tsp of baking powder
1 tsp kosher salt
1 package of white chocolate chips
6 oz of raspberries

Directions:
1.) Preheat oven to 350 degree.
2.) Cream sugar and butter in bowl. Then add lemon juice and eggs.
3.) In separate bowl mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
4.) Add dry mixture to wet mixture. Mix thoroughly.
5.) Add white chocolate chips and raspberries. Mix with spoon so as to not completely crush all the berries.
6.) Lightly grease cookie sheet (though it may not need to be greased, I just always do this).
7.) Cookie dough is pretty sticky. You can either try to make it into cookie balls as is, or let the dough chill in the fridge for a bit (we did both, and both turned out equally yummy!).
8.) Cook 12-15 mins. Until lightly browned.
9.) Eat 'em all!

Seriously, best cookies ever!
