Let’s get baking! Here are the steps to create your own batch of Lemon Raspberry Cookies:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add in the egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest, mixing until well combined.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
5. Gently fold in the raspberries, being careful not to crush them too much.
6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Remember, these cookies are a labor of love. Don’t worry if your kitchen gets a bit messy—it’s all part of the fun!
