Lemon Raspberry Cookies (Print-Friendly Version)

Soft cookies bursting with fresh lemon and juicy raspberries for a bright, flavorful bite.

# Ingredients Required:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 240 grams all-purpose flour
02 - 200 grams granulated sugar
03 - 5 grams baking powder
04 - 2.5 grams salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
06 - 1 large egg
07 - Zest of 1 lemon
08 - 30 milliliters fresh lemon juice

→ Fruit

09 - 125 grams fresh raspberries

# Detailed Directions:

01 - Set the oven temperature to 175°C and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
03 - Beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
04 - Incorporate the egg, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice into the creamed mixture and mix until fully combined.
05 - Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, taking care not to overmix. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries to preserve their shape.
06 - Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each about 5 centimeters apart.
07 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before transferring.

# Helpful Advice:

01 - Use room temperature butter for optimal creaming. Handle raspberries delicately to prevent bleeding. For intensified lemon flavor, increase lemon zest slightly.
