Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and lemon zest, rubbing them together until fragrant.
  3. Add butter and brown sugar, beating for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Incorporate egg yolk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice into the mixture until combined.
  5. Sift in salt, baking powder, baking soda, and flour, and mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in chopped frozen raspberries, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Using a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the baking sheets, allowing space between.

Use frozen raspberries straight from the freezer to maintain the cookie dough's integrity. Be gentle when mixing to prevent juice bleeding into the dough. Store in airtight containers for freshness.
