Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 tablespoon lemon zest

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)

½ cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
 

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

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

      Beat in the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.

        In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

          Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

            Carefully fold in the raspberries, being gentle to avoid breaking them too much.

              Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly soft; they will firm up as they cool.

                  Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for a delightful finish.
