These no bake white chocolate raspberry cookies need just 5 ingredients to make and yield perfect thick, soft, and chewy cookies.
My family reckons my raspberry cookies are one of my best cookie recipes, so I elevated them with a few tweaks to make a simple, no-bake version with one key addition- white chocolate.
White chocolate and raspberries make the most incredible combination and the tartness from the berries balances out the overtly sweet white chocolate. My recipe is also different because it involves no baking!

Ingredients Needed (and substitutions)
As mentioned earlier, this recipe calls for just five simple ingredients. Here is what you’ll need:
- Coconut flour. A safe-to-eat flour in its raw state. It’s gluten-free and grain-free and doesn’t have any coconut flavor.
- Cashew butter. Smooth and creamy cashew butter. If you don’t have cashew butter, use almond butter or peanut butter.
- Maple syrup. Sweetens the cookies and helps bind them together. Honey or agave nectar will also work.
- White chocolate. Use your favorite brand of white chocolate to make these no-bake cookies. Chop them into tiny or big pieces per your liking.
- Dried raspberries. The best part of this recipe is that you don’t have to wait all summer for fresh raspberries. Use freeze-dried or dried raspberries to make this recipe.
- Milk of choice. Use plant-based or dairy milk of your choice to bring the dough together.

How to make white chocolate raspberry cookies
Step 1- Melt the wet ingredients. Add cashew butter and maple syrup to a microwave-safe bowl and melt it. Alternatively, melt them together on a stovetop. Mix it until homogenous and set aside.
Step 2- Make the cookie dough. Pour the liquid mixture over the coconut flour and stir to combine. Fold in white chocolate pieces and dried raspberries. Add milk to adjust the consistency if the mixture is too difficult to shape.
Step 3- Shape your cookies. Make even-sized balls from the dough, place them on the prepped baking tray, and gently press to achieve the cookie shape.
Step 4- Set the cookies. Mark the cookies by pressing them down with a fork. Then, transfer the tray to the fridge and refrigerate until it firms up.
Recipe tips and variations
- Adjust the sweetness. Sometimes, the white chocolate can be overpowering and a little too sweet (yes, even as a diehard sweet tooth I can admit this!). So, add more or less based on your preference.
- Use best quality ingredients. Since this recipe uses only five simple ingredients, ensure you use only good-quality ones.
- Make them double chocolate. Add some complexity to the recipe by folding a few dark chocolate chips into your mix.
- Optional mix-ins. Add chopped nuts and other dried berries to the recipe. You could also drizzle melted white chocolate or decorate with a lemon glaze.
Storage instructions
To store. Refrigerate these cookies in an airtight box for up to two weeks.
To freeze. These cookies freeze well for up to six months. Wrap the cookies in parchment paper and freeze them in ziplock bags.

Frequently asked questions
While most ingredients are compatible with a vegan lifestyle, substitute dairy milk with plant-based milk and white chocolate with vegan white chocolate.
This happens if your cookie dough is too thick or too crumbly. Fix your dough by adding some milk to it.
Substitute coconut flour with blanched almond flour for a grain-free recipe. Because almond flour is less absorbent, you’ll need to use twice the amount of flour to replace coconut flour in this recipe.

No bake cookies you say?? Yes please!!
I am totally making these 😀
Please do, Tammy! 🙂
These sound wonderful. 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words 🙂
WOWOWOW! LOVE everything about this recipe…from the raspberry and white chocolate to being no bake full of protein. You’re such a smartie. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe with us at Weekend Potluck. Keep ’em coming Guy!
No worries at all! Thanks for hosting, Marsha!
These look so delicious, Arman! Thank you for that link to the white chocolate recipe. I miss white chocolate but can’t eat it. Not because I am vegan but because I can’t eat dairy. The recipe calls for coconut sugar, and what I have is very brown. It seems like it would not result in white chocolate but more like tan chocolate. I know it doesn’t have to be really white, but I was just curious as to how much it affects the color. It looks pretty normal in the recipe photo. Thoughts?
Hey Linda! No worries at all- I’ve tried several homemade versions of it and many turned out to be duds- This was the most successful one!
For sure- From what I’ve found with coconut sugar, is that some brand themselves as coconut palm sugar and some straight up coconut sugar. The former (well the brands that we have here) is light and is the one I used for that- However, I’ve tried several different brands of coconut sugar which some very very dark and did affect the colour (like in one of my caramel recipes, it came out really really dark- almost burnt).
I’m actually going to try making them with this recipe next – https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/11/06/how-to-make-your-own-white-chocolate-chips/ – Mainly because coconut sugar is getting too expensive haha!
I must have known these were cookie dough ish when I clicked on the picture, cookie dough is one of my fave things ever!! I really like that there are modifications with some of the ingredients so I can still make these with what I am more likely to find in my pantry. I don’t know what it is like in oz because I am still pretty new here but finding health food type ingredients in NZ is a nightmare!
Is there anything you could recommend to substitute for the oat flour? I’m one of the unlucky few that still can’t eat oats, even if they’re gluten free 🙁 But I’d love to try these as they look so yummy!
Me too – no oats for me 🙁
Any suggestions for an oat flour substitute Arman? I’m about to attempt using a combo of brown rice and coconut flour as I can’t NOT make them any longer! I’ll let you know how I go but if you’ve tried with any other flours please share 🙂
Hi Amy! 🙂 Oat flour- You can actually sub for rolled oats or oat bran or quick oats- They just will be slightly more dense/coarse! You can usr a combo of the two- Although you’ll need to add a tad more liquid 🙂
So you are the FIRST INDIAN MALE’s blog that I have come across and may I just say wow. You can cook and BAKE. these cookies look fantastic, I’m about to bake some banana cookies this weekend, these are looking good too. Favorite fruit pairing with chocolate – banana and raspberries. 🙂 I’m Nisha!
Hi Nisha! I’m sorry to disappoint you but I’m not Indian haha! I’m half Malaysian Chinese and half Persian.
White chocolate and raspberry is one of my favorite combos. Guess great minds think alike, and I do mean you and me, not me and Quest. Ha.
Hahaha. Lies. You drink protein like a bro.
