Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp almond extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ cup seedless raspberry jam (or more as needed)
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a jumbo muffin tin with baking spray or butter and flour.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy (1–2 minutes).
  3. Mix in vanilla and almond extracts.
  4. Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Dough will be soft and slightly crumbly.
  5. Press about ¼ cup of dough into each muffin cup, forming a well. Reserve ~½ cup of dough for topping.
  6. Spoon ½ to 1 tablespoon of jam into each cookie well.
  7. Crumble reserved dough over the jam, allowing some jam to show through.
  8. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until tops are golden and edges are set.
  9. Cool fully in tin. Gently loosen each cookie with a knife and lift out.
  10. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Dough can be made ahead and chilled for up to 2 days.
  • Use different jams like strawberry, apricot, or lemon curd for variation.
  • To prevent sticking, ensure muffin tin is well-greased and allow full cooling before removal.
  • Use regular muffin tins for smaller cookies and reduce bake time to 14–16 minutes.
