How to Make Nutty Chocolate Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  8. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Use your thumb to make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
  10. Fill each indentation with raspberry jam.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
