  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 9 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • ½ cup butter, room temperature
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup frozen raspberries, chopped
  • Flaked salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Rub the granulated sugar and lemon zest together until fragrant.
  3. Cream in the butter and brown sugar on medium-high speed for 3–4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in the egg yolk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  5. Add salt, baking powder, baking soda, and flour gradually, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the frozen chopped raspberries gently.
  7. Scoop dough into 3-tablespoon balls, place 5 per baking sheet, and sprinkle with flaked salt.
  8. Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges turn golden. Let cool on the baking sheet to finish baking.

Notes

  • Using frozen raspberries prevents excessive bleeding into the dough.
  • Add ½ cup white chocolate chips for extra sweetness.
  • Smaller dough scoops yield more cookies; reduce baking time accordingly.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1–2 days or freeze for longer storage.
