Copycat Raspberry Rally Girl Scout Cookies
When the real deal is out of stock or out of season, these copycat raspberry Girl Scout cookies are the next best thing!
Raspberry Rally Girl Scout cookies are a huge success. In fact, they're so popular that they've sold out and might be difficult for you to find! If that's the case, then we're excited to bring you a fun alternative to satisfy that raspberry cookie craving.
This copycat recipe is inspired by cookies that are brand new in 2023. But, according to the Girl Scouts, Raspberry Rallies are actually similar to an old favorite: Thin Mints! Where Thin Mints pair chocolate and mint, Raspberry Rallies are all about the magical combination of chocolate and raspberry.
For our version, we baked thin and crispy discs of raspberry shortbread and covered them in raspberry-infused dark chocolate. So, with each bite you get buttery shortbread and rich chocolate, all with a splash of fruity raspberry flavor.

Yields36 cookies
Ingredients
- For the Cookies
- 1 cup freeze-dried raspberries
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- For the Chocolate Coating
- 14 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon raspberry extract
Instructions
Make the Cookies
-
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
-
Grind the freeze-dried raspberries to a fine powder using a food processor or spice grinder.
-
Whisk together the raspberry powder, flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl (or a stand mixer bowl, if you have one).
-
Add the butter and blend using a hand mixer or stand mixer until a crumbly dough forms.
-
Turn the dough onto a floured work surface. Using a floured rolling pin, roll out the dough until it is about 1/8" thick.
-
Use a 2" round cookie cutter to cut out discs of the shortbread dough. Transfer the discs to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are barely golden around the edges. The bottoms should be light golden brown.
-
Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Add the Chocolate Coating
-
Melt the chocolate according to package directions, either in the microwave or using a double boiler. If using the microwave, be sure to use a microwave-safe bowl and to melt the chocolate in 15-30 second increments, not all at once.
-
Stir the raspberry extract into the melted chocolate.
-
Use a fork to dunk each cookie into the melted chocolate. Use a toothpick to remove any excess chocolate, and then transfer to a cutting board or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Let the chocolate set, tranferring to a fridge to speed up the process if you wish. Once the chocolate is set, your cookies are ready to enjoy!
