Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Incorporate the egg and lemon zest into the mixture and beat until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them.
  7. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes if it's too soft.
  8. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheet and flatten each slightly.
  9. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are set.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
