Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (approx. 17.5 oz) sugar cookie mix
- 0.5 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup raspberry jam
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, combine the sugar cookie mix, softened butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms, ensuring no dry mix remains.
Scoop 1-inch balls of dough using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon and place them onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Using your thumb or the back of a teaspoon, gently press down in the center of each dough ball to create a small well. Be careful not to press all the way through the dough.
Fill each indentation with about 1/4 teaspoon of raspberry jam, making sure not to overfill to prevent spillover during baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are fully cooled, lightly dust them with powdered sugar for an optional decorative touch.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
