These soft and chewy raspberry sugar cookies combine fresh raspberries with a classic sugar cookie base for a tender, flavorful treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (310 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • 1 cup (125 g) fresh raspberries
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and lemon zest if using.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets, making about 24 cookies.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until edges are set but centers are still slightly soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Use softened but not melted butter to trap air for a lighter texture. Fold raspberries gently to avoid crushing and turning dough pink. Chill dough for 15-20 minutes if cookies spread too much. Watch baking time closely to keep cookies soft and chewy. Oven thermometer recommended for accurate temperature.
