Directions

Step

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Step

Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until well combined.

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step

Roll the dough into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.

Step

Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step

Use your thumb or the back of a teaspoon to make an indentation in the center of each cookie.

Step

Fill each indentation with a small spoonful of raspberry jam, ensuring not to overfill.

Step

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step

Optional: Dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for an added touch of sweetness.

Step

Store the Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.

Tips for this recipe

To create a variety of flavors, you can experiment with different types of jams or preserves. Try using strawberry, apricot, or even lemon curd for delicious flavor variations. Remember to let the cookies cool completely before filling them with jam to prevent it from melting too quickly during baking. Enjoy these delightful cookies with a cup of tea or as a sweet treat any time of the day.
