Chocolate Raspberry Chip Cookies
1 cup butter-flavored Crisco, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 10-oz package raspberry chips (Hershey)
Heat oven to 375 F.
Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and salt in large bowl until creamy. Add eggs; beat well. Stir together flour, cocoa and baking soda; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. About 5 dozen cookies.
Notes: Cooked with the god-daughter this afternoon after we couldn't turn up mom's recipe and had to hunt around online. Very chocolatey and chewy and yummy.
Dinner tonight (cooked by mom) was chicken with a balsamic gorgonzola sauce that looked a lot like chocolate. It was incredibly delicious. I hope she manages to post an approximation of the recipe.

Posted by: Tenley at February 11, 2007 3:08 PMStringtown Grocery, which is a little Amish bulk food store in Kalona, Iowa (which is near Iowa City, IA) carries Raspberry Chocolate Chips. They are amazing. They are the only place I've ever seen them, and they make amazing cookies, and are also great in pancakes.
Posted by: Sarah at May 16, 2007 7:43 PMI have found the Raspberry Chocolate Chips one time, and never found them again. Why??
Posted by: Donna L. Walker at August 10, 2007 9:06 PMPlease tell me where I can find Raspberry Chocolate CHips. I live in Ohio.
Posted by: TRUDY at August 24, 2007 3:58 PMcan't find the Hersey's raspberry choc??
Posted by: John at December 16, 2007 8:20 AMHershey won't make the raspberry chocolate chips any longer. Frankly, nothing else takes its place. I used raspberry extract - had no taste. There are recipes using raspberry preserves/jam, but it just doesn't have that smell and flavor that the chips had. People like myself have contacted Hershey in the past, but as you can see..nothing.
Posted by: Max at January 31, 2008 2:01 PMIf you live in northern NY (Philadelphia, NY) there is a Amish shop that sells raspberry chocolate chips. I received some as a gift because I couldn't find them anywhere and was so excited with the gift. I'm going to make these chookies.
Posted by: Ardie at January 26, 2009 9:02 AMI used to make my famous choco raspberry chip walnut cookies years ago and then all of a sudden Hershey stops making these amazing choco chips. My HUGE question is "Why"???
Posted by: Liuka at November 15, 2010 11:56 PMI found raspberry chocolate chips at Nuts On Line. Or you can use raspberry flavoring in the chocolate dough and regular semi-sweet mini chips...makes a great chocolate chocolate-raspberry chip cookie.
