Ingredients
– 2 1/2 cups unbleached flour Forms the dough structure
– 1 cup powdered sugar Provides sweetness and texture
– 1 cup melted butter or vegan butter Adds richness and moisture
– 1/3 cup mashed black raspberries Infuses fruity flavor and nutrients
– 2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice Brings tangy zest
– a pinch of salt Balances flavors
Instructions
1-Start by preheating your oven to 375°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sift the 2 1/2 cups unbleached flour to ensure it’s light and airy. In a bowl, mix the 1 cup melted butter or vegan butter with 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth.
2-Next, add 2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice, 1/3 cup mashed black raspberries, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Gradually blend in the sifted flour to form a dough. Shape the dough into balls smaller than a golf ball and place them on the parchment.
3-Flatten each ball to about 1/4 inch thickness and optionally score with a fork for a nice design. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, watching closely to avoid browning. Once done, cool slightly on the sheet before moving to a wire rack; this recipe yields two dozen cookies with about 10 minutes prep and 9 minutes cook time.
4-Gather and measure ingredients carefully.
5-Mix wet and dry components step by step.
6-Bake and cool as instructed for perfect texture.
