Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon zest

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)

1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes) using an electric mixer.

      Add Egg and Flavorings: Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.

        Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

          Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries using a spatula, being careful not to break them apart too much.

              Form Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underdone; that’s okay.

                  Cool and Dust: Once out of the oven, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your Lemon Raspberry Bliss Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
