Lemon Raspberry Cookies

Freshly baked Lemon Raspberry Cookies with vibrant lemon and berry flavors

This recipe for lemon raspberry cookies pairs bright citrus with tender, jammy raspberries for a soft, slightly chewy cookie that works well as an afternoon snack or a bake-sale option. I often make this when raspberries are plentiful because the lemon juice and zest lift the fruit and keep the crumb from tasting flat, and if you want a chewier edge try a slightly larger scoop and a minute more baking time. For a comparison on texture adjustments, I sometimes reference a technique from a bakery-style chocolate chip cookies recipe that helps dial in chew versus crisp without changing ingredients. … Learn more
