Using another bowl, beat butter and sugar till fluffy. Add in the egg, lemon juice, and grated lemon peel.
04 -
Slowly stir in your flour mixture until dough forms. Gently fold your chopped raspberries into the mix.
05 -
Spoon dough onto your lined baking sheet with about 2 inches (5 cm) between each. Bake until edges turn golden, about 12-15 minutes.
06 -
Leave cookies on the hot tray for 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
07 -
Mix confectioners sugar, mashed raspberries, and lemon juice in a bowl until it's smooth.

Pour the berry mixture over your cooled cookies and add some extra lemon zest on top. Wait until topping hardens before eating.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Make sure your butter isn't cold when you start mixing.
02 -
Try adding a bit of raspberry extract to make the berry flavor stronger.
03 -
Grate your lemon peel very small so it mixes well throughout the dough.
04 -
Don't glaze the cookies while they're warm or your topping will run off.
