Lemon Raspberry Cookies

Ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 1 large egg

- 2 tablespoons lemon juice

- 1 tablespoon lemon zest

- 1/2 cup raspberries, finely chopped

For Raspberry Glaze:

- 1 cup powdered sugar

- 2 tablespoons raspberry puree

- 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions:

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

2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

3. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.

4. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the finely chopped raspberries gently.

5. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

6. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

7. For the raspberry glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, raspberry puree, and lemon juice until smooth.

8. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and sprinkle with extra lemon zest for a burst of color and flavor.

9. Allow the glaze to set before serving, and savor the delightful combination of lemon and raspberry in each cookie.
