Ingredients
 

  • For the Cookie Dough:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest about 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • For the Raspberries:
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries or frozen, thawed and drained

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add Egg and Flavorings: Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Mix Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the raspberries, being careful not to crush them too much.
  • Drop Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
  • Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
