Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Raspberry Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  4. Mix in the lemon zest and raspberry extract until evenly distributed.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder, then gradually add to the wet ingredients.
  6. Gently fold in the raspberries without breaking them.
  7. Drop balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
  9. Cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  10. Prepare the raspberry glaze by whisking powdered sugar with a splash of water and drizzle over cookies.
