Instructions
Creating delicious Lemon Raspberry Cookies is easy when you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add Egg and Lemon: Beat in the egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice, mixing until well combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them.
7. Scoop Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
