Chocolate Chip Raspberry Jumbles

The topped reserved dough creates a delightful texture contrast, making this treat perfect for dessert lovers seeking a fruity and chocolatey indulgence suitable for sharing at gatherings or casual snacking.
Ingredients
- 1 package Duncan Hines chocolate chip cookie mix
- 1/2 cup seedless raspberry preserves ⓘ
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate chip cookie mix following the package directions and reserve 1/2 cup of dough.
- Spread the remaining dough evenly into an ungreased 9-inch square pan.
- Spread the seedless raspberry preserves over the cookie dough layer.
- Drop the reserved dough by teaspoons over the top of the raspberry layer.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 to 25 minutes until golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cookie dough. You can substitute the raspberry preserves with other fruit preserves like strawberry or apricot for a different taste. If you don't have a 9-inch pan, an 8-inch square pan will work, but adjust the baking time slightly as it may take longer to cook through. Make sure to check for doneness at the 20-minute mark.
Serving Suggestions
These jumbles are delightful served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. For a brunch option, pair them with coffee or tea. They also complement nicely with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a balanced meal. For a fun twist, serve alongside a glass of Yellow Punch to enhance the sweet-tart flavor.
