Print Recipe

Soft, buttery sugar cookies with a tangy-sweet raspberry flavor, perfect for February celebrations like Valentine’s Day or cozy winter treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting or glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Gently fold in the raspberries. If they’re large, break them into smaller pieces before adding. The dough might turn slightly pink—don’t worry, that’s part of the charm!
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just set and lightly golden. The centers might look slightly underdone, but they’ll firm up as they cool.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Optional: Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and a splash of milk.

Notes

[‘Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes if it feels too soft.’, ‘Use frozen raspberries without thawing to avoid extra moisture.’, ‘Do not overbake; remove cookies as soon as edges turn golden.’, ‘Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.’]
