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.

These are a very easy thumbprint cookie to make as they use a packaged cookie mix. They look pretty around the Holidays. You can use green drizzle (made with the white chocolate chips in recipe with added green food coloring) with the raspberry jam & they look great or even use colored red or green sugar. You can also use apricot or any other flavor jam you desire in making these if raspberry not your thing. Got the recipe from Shoprite website and have been using it ever since.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen raspberries. Freshly picked raspberries are a delightful choice, but frozen raspberries work well too. If using frozen raspberries, thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough. A few lumps are okay. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Make a small indentation in the center of each cookie before filling it with jam. This will help the jam stay in place while baking.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will allow the jam to set and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

Raspberry thumbprint cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their sweet and tart filling and buttery shortbread crust, these cookies are sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a simple yet impressive dessert, give raspberry thumbprint cookies a try!
