Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon zest

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 large egg

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 baking sheets with parchment paper.

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

      Add in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and egg. Mix until fully combined.

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

          Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Gently fold in the raspberries, being careful not to break them up too much.

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

                Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly soft.

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

                    Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
