Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 75 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 120 grams Raspberry jam
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or a stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Roll the dough into small balls, each about 2.5 cm (1 inch) in diameter, and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 3 cm (1.2 inches) of space between each ball.
Use your thumb or the back of a teaspoon to press a small indentation into the center of each dough ball. Take care not to press all the way through the dough.
Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Keep a close eye to avoid overbaking.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Raspberry Jam Droplets with tea, coffee, or as a standalone treat. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
