Ingredients
For the cookies:
- 1 cup cold butter
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract see note
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
For the glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
To make the cookies:
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- In the bowl of your mixer, add cold butter, sugar, and vanilla. Beat until well combined.
- Add the flour to the butter mixture and continue mixing until the dough comes together. It will be dry at first and take a few minutes to come together but it should form a smooth, stiff dough.
- Roll dough into small balls, about 1-inch each, and press your pinky finger into each ball to make the well for the dough. Fill the wells with the jam.
- Place cookies in the refrigerator for one hour to chill.
- Bake for 12 minutes or just until the bottoms are browning. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
To make the glaze:
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and as much milk as you need to get the consistency of glaze you prefer. For a thicker glaze, use less milk or swap the milk for heavy cream.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and let set for 30 minutes to firm up before storing or serving.
Notes
- The dough will seem like it needs milk or egg added to it, but if you keep mixing it will come together.
- Traditionally, these cookies are made with almond extract, but we prefer the flavor of vanilla. Either work fine here.
- You may use any flavor of jam that you like.
- We use whole milk for the glaze, but you can use any type of milk that you have on hand. Heavy cream will also work and make for a thicker, whiter glaze.
