Finally raspberries are plentiful and cheap at the markets, and some lucky ones (not me unfortunately) are even able to enjoy their own fresh raspberries from their garden for free!
I had a bunch of raspberries at home that I wanted to do something more with than just eat raw or have on my breakfast porridge, so I decided to use them in these cookies, along with lemon – which is a perfect combination and lovely to enjoy with the afternoon tea, or “fika”, as we call it in Sweden (it’s a very important cultural tradition in Sweden to have fika, preferrably on a daily basis).
Have a wonderful Sunday, and enjoy it to the fullest!

July 27 at 2:57 amI made these tonight and they were awesome — just wanted to let you know you forgot to tell us when to add the lemon juice! I realized it was missing so I added it at the end of step 2, but next time I will probably do it before adding the flour.
