Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups gluten-free flour blend (with xanthan gum)
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather and measure all your ingredients accurately. Rinse the raspberries gently to avoid crushing them, then zest and juice the lemon to capture its vibrant essence.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together to ensure even distribution which helps your cookies rise beautifully.
- Cream Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sugar, Greek yogurt, egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy for a luscious cookie base.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as that can affect the cookie’s tenderness.
- Gently Fold in Raspberries: Carefully fold in the fresh raspberries to maintain their shape and distribute juicy bursts throughout the dough.
- Shape and Bake: Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This helps them set perfectly while maintaining that soft texture.
Notes
- Fresh is best: Use fresh raspberries and lemon for the most vibrant flavor and moisture.
- Don’t overmix: Overworking the batter can make cookies tough instead of tender.
- Chill the dough: If time allows, chilling helps prevent spreading and concentrates flavor.
- Use a gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum: It aids structure and texture in gluten free baking.
- Handle berries delicately: To avoid crushing and staining, fold in raspberries gently at the very end.
