Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 cup Butter softened; provides a rich, creamy texture for the cookies.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar adds sweetness and moisture.
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar keeps the cookie texture soft and delicate.
  • 2 large Eggs give structure to the cookies.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Zest enhances the lemon flavor, making every bite zesty.
  • 1/4 cup Lemon Juice adds acidity and brightness; could swap half for orange juice for a sweeter note.
  • 3 cups All-purpose Flour forms the primary structure of the cookies.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder acts as a leavening agent for a lightly baked texture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda enhances spread for perfect cookie shape.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt balances out the sweetness beautifully.
  • 1 cup Fresh Raspberries adds delightful juicy tartness; fresh is preferred, but if using frozen, pat dry to prevent bleeding.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture.
  4. Fold in the fresh raspberries gently to keep them intact.
  5. Scoop out equal portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Check for softer centers at 10 minutes.
  7. Cool for about 5 minutes on the sheets before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
