Delicious Raspberry Almond Thumbprint Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
40
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup raspberry jam (for filling)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Make sure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar

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

    Use an electric mixer for best results.
  3. Add Egg and Extracts

    Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the bowl. Mix until well combined.

    Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is mixed.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add this to the butter mixture and mix until just combined.

    Do not overmix; stop as soon as the flour is incorporated.
  5. Shape Cookies

    Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use your thumb to create a small indentation in the center.

    Make sure the indentation is deep enough to hold the jam.
  6. Fill with Jam

    Spoon a small amount of raspberry jam into each indentation.

    Don't overfill, as the jam may bubble over while baking.
  7. Bake

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

    Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
  8. Cool and Serve

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

    Store in an airtight container for freshness.
