Method
- Have a parchment paper covered baking sheet set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Sift flour and let sit in one bowl.
- In another bowl, place the melted butter and add the powdered sugar. Mix well. Then add the lemon juice, mashed berries, and salt. Mix well.
- Slowly add the flour into the wet mixture and ensure all ingredients are blended well. The mixture will be buttery.
- Take some of the dough and roll into ball shapes that are just smaller than a golf ball. Place on the baking sheet. Flatten with your fingertips until they are about 1/4 inch thick. If desired slightly score with a fork.
- Place in oven and bake 8 to 10 minutes. Be sure to check at 8 minutes. Try not to let the cookies brown, but if they do get slightly brown, this is ok.
- Let slightly cool. Transfer using a flat spatula onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Once cool, enjoy!

Notes
Using room temperature butter will ensure that your dough mixes together smoothly, leading to a consistent texture. Don't skip the lemon juice; its acidity balances the sweetness beautifully. For fluffier cookies, let the dough rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes before baking.
