Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Picture this: a sweet cookie with a hint of citrus, perfect for coffee breaks or afternoon teas—you know, the moments that need a little extra sparkle. Whether you’re entertaining friends, treating yourself, or just craving some homemade goodness, these cookies are both forgiving and versatile. Plus, they come together quickly—ideal for busy women and moms (so you can get back to binge-watching your favorite show)!

Ingredients

Here’s what you will need to whip up a batch of these scrumptious treats:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, but who doesn’t love fresh?)
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• Zest of one lemon
• Juice of one lemon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s like getting your favorite cozy blanket ready before a movie night—essential!

2. Cream the butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until creamy and fluffy. Think of it as giving your butter a little spa day.

3. Add the eggs and vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Keep mixing until it’s all combined and looking good.

4. Sift the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.

5. Stir in the good stuff: Gently fold in the raspberries, white chocolate chips, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Take a moment to appreciate the beauty of those vibrant colors.

6. Scoop and place: Drop tablespoon-sized balls of the cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some room in between for spreading. You know how they say cookies need their space—it’s true!

7. Bake to perfection: Pop the cookies into the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Just don’t forget they’re in there! You’ll want all your fingers to enjoy them.

8. Cool and enjoy: Let them cool on a wire rack (if you can resist the temptation to dive in face-first).

Cooking Tips

• Don’t panic on the raspberries: If some burst in the mixing process, just consider it a tasty textural surprise!
• If you’re feeling zesty: Try adding a bit more lemon juice for a stronger citrus flavor. After all, the world could always use more sparkle, right?
• Storage tip: These cookies can last in an airtight container for up to a week, though I’m willing to bet they won’t stick around that long once everyone gets a whiff of them!
