How to Make Raspberry Shortbread Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, mixing until a dough forms.
  5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to handle.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  7. Place the balls 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, gently make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
  9. Fill each indentation with about ½ teaspoon raspberry jam.
  10. Bake for 14-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  12. (Optional) Spoon additional jam into the center of the cooled cookies.
  13. (Optional Glaze): In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons milk or lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
