Make these soft baked lemon cookies with raspberries for a perfect tart and sweet cookie experience. This easy raspberry lemon cookies recipe features a bright lemon glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries, lightly dusted with flour
  • For the Glaze: 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the floured raspberries. Dusting the berries with flour helps prevent them from sinking or bleeding color too much.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them. Press lightly to flatten slightly.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. These are chewy lemon raspberry cookies.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice, a drop at a time, if the glaze is too thick.
  11. Once cookies are completely cool, drizzle the bright lemon flavored cookies generously with the glaze. Let the glaze set before serving.

Notes

  • For a bakery style lemon raspberry cookies texture, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • If using frozen raspberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the dough.
  • For extra lemon flavor, add a pinch of lemon salt to the dry ingredients.
