Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and lemon zest, rubbing them together to release the oils.
Add in butter and brown sugar; mix on medium speed until fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). Incorporate egg yolk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until well combined.
Gradually add salt, baking powder, baking soda, and flour; mix gently until just combined.
Fold in chopped frozen raspberries carefully to avoid excessive bleeding.
Using a cookie scoop, place dough onto prepared baking sheets and sprinkle lightly with flaked salt.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden. Let cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks.
