Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)

1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

      Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamy mixture. Beat until fully combined.

        Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

          Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them too much. The batter will be thick and slightly sticky.

            Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out portions of the cookie dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.

              Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The tops may still look slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.

                Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once out of the oven, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Before serving, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for an elegant touch.

                  Serve and Enjoy: These delightful raspberry sugar cookies are perfect for any occasion! Enjoy with a glass of milk or a cup of tea.
