Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 30 grams powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 3
Mix in the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Step 6
Gently fold in the raspberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Be careful not to overmix to avoid crushing the raspberries.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. The centers should still be slightly soft.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Optional: Once cooled, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
