Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Beat in the egg and lemon zest until incorporated and smooth.
  4. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl and gradually add to the wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in the raspberries gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed without crushing.
  6. If the dough is sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

  8. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
