  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

Festive, melt-in-your-mouth cookies with a luscious raspberry filling, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (plus more for coating)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup finely ground almonds
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground almonds, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Roll a tablespoon of dough into a ball and make an indentation in the center. Fill with 1/4 teaspoon of raspberry jam.
  6. Seal the filling by pinching the edges together and re-roll into a smooth ball.
  7. Place the cookies on the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.
  8. Allow cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, roll the cookies generously in powdered sugar, twice for a perfect coating.
