RASPBERRY THUMBPRINT COOKIES



Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies image

Raspberry-filled, fragile, buttery pecan-crusted cookies. They remind me of a miniature pie in flavor and looks. They are a delicious cookie any time of the year, but especially perfect for the holiday season. Other fillings can be used; any jelly, jam, candied fruit or tinted powdered sugar icing. Our family favorite is raspberry jam.

Categories     Cookies

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 lb (1 stick) butter
1/4 lb (1 stick) margarine
2 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 c sugar
2 1/2 c all purpose flour
raspberry jam

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, cream the butter and margarine thoroughly. Gradually add the sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
  • 2. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add flour and vanilla. Shape mix between palms of hands into balls (1-inch in diameter).
  • 3. Place on an ungreased baking sheet, 2 inches apart. With a finger, make an indentation on top of each cookie. Fill with raspberry jam.
  • 4. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven about 15 minutes, or until nicely browned.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen raspberries. Fresh raspberries are best, but frozen raspberries can also be used. If using frozen raspberries, thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them rise and set quickly, resulting in a crispy cookie.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Raspberry thimble cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of these cookies that will be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give raspberry thimble cookies a try.
