Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter softened
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest from about 1 large lemon
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Fresh Raspberries gently washed and dried

Equipment

  • 2 Baking Sheets
  • 1 Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer
  • Mixing Bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a large bowl using a hand or stand mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until combined, about 1 minute.
  4. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries with a spatula.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look soft.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature butter and egg to ensure a smooth dough.
If using frozen raspberries, do not thaw them before adding to the dough to avoid excess moisture.
A simple lemon glaze can be added by mixing 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and drizzling over cooled cookies.
