Cookies with raspberry and white chocolate

When I am travelling through Copenhagen Airport I always buy one cookie as sweet treat, and I always pick the cookie with raspberry and white chocolate :-) So I think it is time for me to make my very own version of these cookies.

I have use the cookie dough recipe from these liquorice cookies with cranberries as dough base for these cookies with raspberry and white cookies.

You can easily use this cookie dough as a hostess gift, as you can wrap the dough including the baking instruction, so the hostess/host afterwards can bake her/his own home-made cookies.


UPDATE 14 March 2015:
These cookies are being forward for the monthly blogging event Tea Time Treats having the theme of biscuits and cookies. Tea Time Treast is managed by Karen from Lavender and Lovage and Jane from The Hedge Combers.
