Tender lemon raspberry crinkle cookies with a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture and a powdered sugar coating that creates a signature crinkle look. Bright lemon zest and juicy raspberries make these cookies fresh and flavorful.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) raspberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract and mix until fragrant.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Carefully fold in the raspberries, keeping them whole to avoid soggy dough.
  7. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  8. Scoop 1.5-inch (4 cm) balls of dough and roll each generously in powdered sugar until fully coated.
  9. Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake for 12-14 minutes until cookies puff up and crack but remain soft in the center.
  11. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender. Fold raspberries in gently and use frozen raspberries without thawing to prevent soggy dough. Chill dough before baking to prevent spreading. Roll dough balls generously in powdered sugar for signature crinkle effect. Watch baking time closely; cookies should be soft in the center when done.
