# Ingredients Required:

01 - 2 cups regular flour

02 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

04 - 3/4 cup soft unsalted butter

05 - 1 cup white sugar

06 - 1 large egg

07 - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

08 - 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel

09 - 1/2 cup finely diced raspberries

10 - 1 cup confectioners sugar

11 - 2 tablespoons mashed raspberries

12 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice

01 - Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Put parchment paper on your cookie sheet.

02 - Stir flour, baking powder, and salt together in a mixing bowl.

03 - 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.

08 - Pour the berry mixture over your cooled cookies and add some extra lemon zest on top. Wait until topping hardens before eating.

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.
