Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the blackberries, being careful not to smash them.

- Spread the frosting generously over each cookie and let it set for about 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
For best results, use fresh blackberries and don’t skip the lemon zest for maximum flavor. Chill the dough if it feels too sticky before shaping.
