Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and lemon zest for about 4-5 minutes until fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and continue mixing for another 2 minutes. Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour and baking soda until just combined.
  4. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place on prepared baking sheets, leaving space for spreading.
  5. Use a floured measuring cup to gently flatten each ball slightly.
  6. Bake for 12 minutes until the edges are set and the bottoms are golden. Allow to cool completely on baking sheets.
  7. While cookies cool, beat together softened butter, a pinch of salt, vanilla extract, and confectioners' sugar until smooth.
  8. Gradually mix in raspberry powder and milk to reach a spreadable consistency.
  9. Frost cooled cookies with about 1 tablespoon of frosting each, spreading evenly.
