  3. Cream together the butter and brown sugar for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice; mix until combined.
  5. Incorporate the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the frozen raspberries, avoiding squishing them.
  7. Scoop out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space for spreading.

  9. Cool the cookies slightly before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
