Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (175 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) salt
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) baking soda

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 large lemon zested
  • ½ cup (113.5 g) butter, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (55 g) brown sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (about half a lemon)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Additional:

  • ¾ cup (75 g) frozen raspberries, chopped small
  • Flaked salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the lemon sugar: In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and lemon zest, rubbing them together to release the fragrant oils.
  3. Cream butter and sugars: Add butter and brown sugar to the bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk, vanilla, and lemon juice and mix well.
  4. Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually add salt, baking powder, baking soda, and flour to the mixture, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Add raspberries: Gently fold in chopped frozen raspberries.
  6. Form cookie dough balls: Scoop the dough into balls and place them on the baking sheets. Sprinkle with flaked salt.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden. Let them cool slightly on the baking sheets.

Notes

  • Keep raspberries frozen until ready to use to prevent discoloration of the dough.
  • Fresh raspberries can be substituted for frozen ones.
  • For accurate measurements, use a kitchen scale when possible.
