RASPBERRY ALMOND SHORTBREAD THUMBPRINTS

This is a great recipe I stumbled across on the inside of a Land O Lakes butter box! I remember thinking that it looked good but recipes inside boxes couldn't possibly be good. Boy was I wrong. This one gets more compliments. Be sure to use real butter and roll small balls as it will help your cookies look better. The prep time does not including cooking time or cooling time.

Tips:

  • Use fresh raspberries. Fresh raspberries have a more intense flavor than frozen or canned raspberries. If you can't find fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the shortbread tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the shortbread hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the shortbread until it is just set. The shortbread should be slightly golden brown around the edges. If you bake it too long, it will become dry and crumbly.
  • Let the shortbread cool completely before filling it. This will help the filling set properly.

Conclusion:

Raspberry and almond shortbread thumbprints are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. The shortbread cookies are buttery and crumbly, and the raspberry and almond filling is sweet and tart. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
