Ingredients You’ll Need
-
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
-
1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Oven and Muffin Tin
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a jumbo muffin tin with butter and flour or use non-stick cooking spray. This ensures the cookies release easily after baking.
Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy (about 1-2 minutes).
Mix in vanilla extract and almond extract for flavor.
Gradually add flour and salt. Mix just until the dough is crumbly but holds together when pressed. Don’t overmix!
Step 3: Assemble the Cookies
Scoop about 1/4 cup of dough into each well of the muffin tin.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides to create a well.
Spoon 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of raspberry jam into each well.
Sprinkle a heaping tablespoon of the remaining dough over the jam for the crumble topping.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops are set.
Cool completely in the pan before removing.
Step 5: Remove and Serve
Once cooled, run a knife around each cookie to help release it from the pan.
Serve as is, or dust with powdered sugar for an extra festive touch!
