Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)

½ cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Optional: Lemon zest for garnish

Instructions
 

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

    Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

      Add Eggs and Flavor: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice until fully incorporated.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

          Mix Dry with Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to break them up too much.

              Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will set as they cool.

                  Cool and Dust: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Once cool, dust with powdered sugar and additional lemon zest if desired.

                    Serve: Enjoy your delightful lemon raspberry cookies with a cup of tea or as a tasty snack!
