Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Raspberry Cookies
  1. Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–5 minutes.
  2. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each to create a smooth batter.
  3. Stir in the lemon zest and raspberry extract if desired.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder until combined.
  5. Gradually add this mixture to the wet batter, mixing slowly until just combined.
