Ingredients
 

Cookie Dough

  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.25 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp fine salt
  • 0.5 cup freeze-dried raspberries, crushed into fine powder Sift out seeds for smoother dough if you like
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.9 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp almond extract optional but lovely with raspberry
  • 3 tbsp raspberry jam or preserves
  • 0.5 tsp fresh lemon zest optional for brightness

For Rolling

  • 0.33 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.75 cup confectioners' sugar sifted

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and raspberry powder in a bowl; set aside.
  • Beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Mix in eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla, almond extract, lemon zest, and raspberry jam until smooth.
  • Add dry ingredients to the bowl. Mix on low just until a soft dough forms; do not overmix.
  • Chill the dough 30 minutes to firm up for rolling.
  • Place granulated sugar and confectioners' sugar in separate shallow bowls.
  • Scoop 1.5-tablespoon portions. Roll each into a ball, coat in granulated sugar, then heavily in confectioners' sugar.
  • Arrange on sheets 2 inches apart. Bake 10–12 minutes until puffed with crackles and edges just set.
  • Cool 10 minutes on the pan, then move to a rack to finish cooling.

Notes

Variation: Fold in 1/2 cup mini white chocolate chips for a creamy contrast. Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature up to 4 days, or freeze baked cookies for 2 months. For extra pop, dust with more confectioners' sugar just before serving.
