Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • ½ cup Butter softened; substitute with vegan butter or coconut oil for dairy-free
  • 1 cup Sugar adjust based on the tartness of your raspberries
  • 1 large Egg or a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsp water) for vegan option
  • 1½ cups All-Purpose Flour can swap with gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder ensure it's gluten-free if needed
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest fresh zest is recommended
  • 1 cup Fresh Raspberries avoid frozen unless thawed and drained
For Variations
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats for hearty texture and nutty flavor

  • Electric Mixer
  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together ½ cup softened butter and 1 cup sugar in a medium bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add 1 large egg and the zest of one lemon; mix until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  4. Fold in 1 cup of fresh raspberries carefully with a spatula, keeping them whole.
  5. If the dough feels sticky, refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden.
  7. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
