Soft, buttery cookies filled with Bonne Maman Raspberry Preserves, 13 oz and baked to golden perfection.
Ingredients
-
2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
-
⅔ cup (80 g) powdered sugar
2 large egg yolks
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
½ cup Bonne Maman Raspberry Preserves
¼ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
-
Extra powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light, smooth, and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Add the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and optional almond extract. Mix until fully combined, creating a smooth and creamy mixture.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender, buttery texture.
Roll the dough into small, approximately 1-inch balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Using your thumb or the back of a small spoon, gently press an indentation into the center of each ball.
Spoon approximately ½ teaspoon of Bonne Maman Raspberry Preserves into each indentation. Be careful not to overfill, as the preserves may spread during baking.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set. The centers should remain slightly soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, lightly dust the edges with powdered sugar for an elegant finishing touch.
Arrange your Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies on a serving platter and enjoy them with a cup of Italian espresso, tea, or your favorite warm beverage. These buttery, fruit-filled cookies are perfect for afternoon treats, holiday gatherings, or homemade gifts.
