Description
Soft, buttery cookies with a bright jam center and a crumbly topping, perfect for snacks or parties.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup raspberry jam, seedless
- ½ cup reserved dough
Instructions
- Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt, then gradually mix into the butter mixture until crumbly.
- Form tablespoon-sized balls of dough, flatten slightly on a baking sheet, and create an indentation in the center to fill with jam.
- Sprinkle reserved dough over each cookie for the topping.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12 to 14 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
- Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
Use high-quality jam for the best flavor. For a nutty twist, almond extract can be used instead of vanilla.
