Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling and Finishing

  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature while you prepare the dough.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is crucial for creating a tender cookie texture.
  3. Add Vanilla Extract: Stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly to infuse the dough with a rich, aromatic flavor.
  4. Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the creamed mixture, mixing gently until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix to keep the cookies tender.
  5. Shape Dough Balls: Roll the dough into small, equal-sized balls and place them spaced out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  6. Create Jam Indentations: Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to make a small indentation in the center of each dough ball, then fill each with about a teaspoon of raspberry jam.
  7. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookie edges turn lightly golden, indicating they are perfectly baked.
  8. Cool and Dust: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Before serving, dust them generously with powdered sugar for an elegant finishing touch.

Notes

  • For a more intense raspberry flavor, use seedless jam or fresh raspberry preserves.
  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming and better dough consistency.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent cookies from sticking to the pan.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • These cookies freeze well; freeze unbaked dough balls or baked cookies, and thaw before serving.
