Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

2 tablespoons lemon zest (from about 1 large lemon)

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, if unavailable)

1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

      Add Egg and Citrus: Beat in the egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.

        Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them too much.

              Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or two tablespoons, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.

                  Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Dust with Sugar: Optionally, once cooled, dust the top of the cookies with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
