Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large lemon, zested
- ½ cup butter, room temperature
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup frozen raspberries, chopped small
- Flaked salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add wet ingredients: Mix in the egg yolk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla until well combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the salt, baking powder, baking soda, and flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Add raspberries: Gently fold in the chopped raspberries.
- Shape and bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon and sprinkle with flaked salt. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool and enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these Lemon Raspberry Cookies with a glass of cold milk or a cup of tea!
Notes
- You can use fresh raspberries instead of frozen, but be gentle when mixing to avoid breaking them.
- For a more intense lemon flavor, add more lemon zest or juice to the dough.
- These cookies are best enjoyed the day they are baked, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
