Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)

1/2 cup powdered sugar (for icing)

1 tablespoon lemon juice (for icing)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

      Add in the egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice; mix until fully incorporated.

        In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture while mixing on low speed until just combined.

          Gently fold in the raspberries using a spatula, taking care not to crush them.

            Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

                In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice to create a thick glaze. Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle the icing over the top of each cookie.

                    - Presentation Tips: Arrange the cookies on a decorative plate, drizzling extra icing over the top for a visually appealing touch. Add a few fresh raspberries and lemon slices around the cookies for a pop of color. Enjoy with a glass of iced tea!
