Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix this into the butter mixture until fully combined.
- Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch) and place them on the prepared baking sheets with enough space between each.
- Use your thumb or a spoon to create an indentation in each ball and fill it with raspberry jam (about half a teaspoon).
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. Allow to cool before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, substitute raspberry jam with strawberry or apricot preserves.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling to prevent spreading during baking.
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
