Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Then, beat in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be sure not to overmix!
5. Add the Raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh or frozen raspberries; try not to break them up too much to keep the sweet bursts intact.
6. Scoop and Bake: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
7. Cool Completely: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and enjoy!

Top Tips for Perfecting Soft and Chewy Raspberry Sugar Cookies

• Butter Temperature: Make sure your butter is at room temperature to ensure the cookies have a smooth and creamy texture.
• Raspberry Adjustments: Feel free to substitute with other berries like blueberries or blackberries for a different flavor profile.
• Avoid Overbaking: Keep an eye on your cookies; they are done when the edges are set, and the centers look slightly underbaked.
