Scale
Dry Ingredients
- Gluten free flour blend (about 2 cups)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Zest of 1 lemon
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter or coconut oil, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup plain yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tbsp)
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather and measure all ingredients. Gently wash the raspberries and zest the lemon before juicing.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together gluten free flour blend, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest until well combined, ensuring flavors are evenly distributed.
- Cream butter and sugar: Using a hand or stand mixer, cream the softened butter or coconut oil with sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which will help create a tender texture.
- Add wet ingredients: Mix in the egg, yogurt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice into the butter-sugar mixture until fully combined, forming a smooth and creamy batter.
- Combine and fold in raspberries: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until incorporated. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, taking care not to crush them to maintain bursts of fruit.
- Scoop and bake: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool and enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set while staying soft and chewy inside. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh raspberries as frozen berries can make the dough soggy and affect texture.
- Do not overmix the batter; stir only until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender.
- Measure gluten free flour accurately by spooning and leveling to avoid dry or crumbly cookies.
- Ensure all wet ingredients like butter, egg, and yogurt are at room temperature to blend smoothly.
- If dough feels too soft or sticky, chill for 20-30 minutes to control spreading during baking.
