Ingredients

Scale
  • For the cookies:
    • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
    • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
    • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cup (65g) fresh or frozen raspberries (chopped into small pieces if large)
    • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for rolling, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the raspberries. Be careful not to overmix to avoid crushing the berries too much.
  6. Optional: Roll small balls of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) in powdered sugar before placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a more vibrant raspberry flavor, you can use freeze-dried raspberries crushed into small bits.
  • These cookies are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust the tartness by adding more lemon zest or juice if desired.
