Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Raspberry Cookies
  1. In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add egg and lemon zest, mixing until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  3. Fold in fresh raspberries carefully to maintain their shape.
  4. If dough is sticky, refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.
  7. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
