Ingredients 🛒
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup fresh raspberries, gently mashed
For the Lemon Glaze (Optional):
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons lemon juice (for desired consistency)
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions 👩🍳
Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Add the Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the Raspberries
Gently fold the mashed raspberries into the dough. The berries will create a beautiful swirl and add a burst of flavor.
Chill the Dough
Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps prevent spreading during baking.
Bake the Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Lemon Glaze (Optional)
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cookies for an extra lemony kick.
