Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

2 tablespoons lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, but thawed and drained)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.

      Add Egg and Flavorings: Add the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.

        Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

          Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix!

            Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold in the raspberries, taking care not to mash them too much.

              Scoop the Dough: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space in between for spreading.

                Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops look set.

                  Cool and Dust: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.

                    Enjoy: Serve these delicious, zesty lemon raspberry cookies with your favorite beverage and delight in their bright flavors!
