Description
Delightful cookies with a buttery texture, filled with sweet raspberry jam and dusted with powdered sugar, reminiscent of childhood favorites.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon raspberry jam
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Stir in the almond extract and mix until combined.
- Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour until a soft dough forms.
- Scoop about one tablespoon of dough, flatten in your palm, place raspberry jam in the center, and wrap dough around jam, rolling it into a ball.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced one inch apart, and bake for 12-14 minutes.
- Allow to cool on a wire rack, then roll in powdered sugar until coated.
- Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Ensure not to overwork the dough to maintain a tender cookie texture. Cool cookies completely before rolling in powdered sugar to prevent jam from oozing out.
