Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Filling

  • 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a jumbo muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or grease and flour the wells. Set aside to ensure the cookie bases don’t stick during baking.
  2. Make the Crust and Topping: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract for 1-2 minutes until smooth and well combined. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing just until combined. The mixture should remain slightly crumbly to keep the cookie tender—avoid overmixing.
  3. Form the Cookie Base: Using about 1/4 cup of the dough mixture, scoop it into each muffin well. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides to form a well in the center. Compact gently but do not overpack, as this can make the cookie crust tough.
  4. Add the Raspberry Filling: Spoon 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of seedless raspberry jam into the center of each cookie base, ensuring not to overflow the edges.
  5. Top and Bake: Sprinkle each cookie with a heaping tablespoon of the remaining crumble mixture over the jam. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool completely in the pan. To remove, gently run a knife around the edges if needed. Serve and enjoy these delicious jam-filled cookies!

Notes

  • Use seedless jam to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
  • Do not overmix the dough; a crumbly texture helps achieve a tender cookie crust.
  • Feel free to substitute raspberry jam with any other fruit jam of your choice.
  • Let cookies cool completely to firm up the filling before removing from the pan.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
