Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons additional lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice, then mix until fully combined.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Gently fold the raspberries into the dough without crushing them too much.
- Chill the dough for 20 minutes for thicker cookies.
- Scoop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them evenly apart.
- Bake for 11 to 13 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers remain soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet.
- Whisk the powdered sugar with the additional lemon juice until smooth to create the glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze lightly over the cooled cookies and serve.
Notes
- Chilling the dough helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- Frozen raspberries can be used, but keep them frozen until mixing into the dough.
- Do not overbake the cookies to maintain a chewy texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
