Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup raspberry jam
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and egg yolk to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together.
Scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Using your thumb or the back of a teaspoon, gently press an indentation into the center of each dough ball.
Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam into each indentation.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies using a spoon or piping bag.
Let the glaze set before serving. Enjoy your Raspberry Dream Cookies!
