Description
Buttery raspberry crumble cookies that are rich, fruity, and perfectly crumbly. Ideal for a sweet treat or dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a jumbo muffin tin with butter and flour, or use non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy (about 1-2 minutes).
- Mix in the vanilla extract and almond extract until evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing just until combined. The dough should be crumbly but hold together when pressed. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense cookies.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of dough into each well of the muffin tin. Gently press the dough evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides to create a shallow well in the center.
- Spoon 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of raspberry jam into the well of each cookie.
- Sprinkle a heaping tablespoon of the remaining dough over the jam for a crumbly topping.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops are set.
- Let the cookies cool completely in the pan before attempting to remove them.
- Once cooled, run a knife around the edges of each cookie to help release them from the muffin tin. Serve as they are, or dust with powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
Notes
- Make sure the dough is crumbly but still holds together when pressed to get the perfect texture.
- Jumbo muffin tins work best, but regular muffin tins can be used if adjustments to dough and jam quantities are made.
- Dust with powdered sugar for an added touch of elegance if desired.
- Letting the cookies cool completely helps them hold their shape when removing from the pan.
