Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter
- 2 1/4 cups (280 grams) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) raspberry jam
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Crumble Topping:
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons (56 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie baking.
- Cream butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until the mixture becomes airy and pale, creating a smooth base for the cookies.
- Incorporate egg yolk and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
- Gently fold in flour and salt, mixing until a cohesive dough forms that can be easily shaped.
- Create the raspberry filling by whisking raspberry jam and lemon juice in a small bowl, which will add a tangy brightness to the cookies.
- Craft the crumble topping by combining flour, sugar, and melted butter, using a fork to achieve a loose, sandy texture.
- Form the cookies by rolling the dough into 1-inch spheres, then gently pressing them flat on the prepared baking sheet.
- Create a small well in the center of each cookie using your thumb or a spoon, then carefully fill with a teaspoon of the prepared raspberry jam.
- Generously sprinkle the crumble topping over each jam-filled cookie, ensuring even coverage for a delightful texture.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges that indicate the cookies are perfectly cooked.
- Allow the cookies to rest for 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely and set their structure.
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened at room temperature for easy mixing and a smoother cookie texture.
- Use fresh, high-quality raspberry jam for the most vibrant and authentic fruit flavor.
- Create uniform cookies by using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to measure dough consistently.
- Prevent jam from burning by avoiding overfilling the cookie centers and keeping the jam away from direct cookie edges.
