Pecan Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies
Description
Pecan Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies combine softened unsalted butter and sugar whisked into a creamy base, enriched with egg yolk and vanilla. The addition of flour, salt, and toasted chopped pecans creates a nutty dough with a tender crumb. Using a thumb or spoon, a small indentation is pressed into each portion of dough on the prepared baking sheet.
The wells are filled with raspberry jam piped in before baking in a 350°F oven for about 20 minutes. The heat yields cookies with a golden brown exterior and a moist, fruit-filled center. The pecans provide slight crunch and depth, while the jam adds a bright, fruity sweetness.
This recipe produces a classic cookie that combines nutty and fruity flavors with buttery richness, ideal as a snack or dessert. The thumbprint style ensures each cookie has a consistent, attractive jam center.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup butter softened at room temperature, unsalted
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 1/3 cup flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup pecans finely chopped, toasted
- 1 cup raspberry jam
Instructions
- Whisk together the softened butter and sugar using a stand or hand mixer. Next, add in the egg yolk and vanilla extract.
- Lastly, mix in the flour, salt, and chopped toasted pecans.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion out equal-sized mounds of the cookie dough into a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using your thumb or the back of a teaspoon, press into the center of each cookie.
- Fill a piping bag with raspberry jam and pipe the jam into the center of each cookie. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
