Categories     Cookie

Time 1h41m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour ((252g))
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature (226g or 16 tablespoons))
⅔ cup granulated sugar ((135g))
½ teaspoon almond extract
½ cup seedless raspberry jam ((4 ounces))
1 cup powdered sugar ((115g))
2-3 teaspoons water (more or less as needed for drizzling consistency)
½ teaspoon almond extract ((add more to taste if desired - I've used to up 1 1/2 teaspoons - substitute vanilla if desired))

Steps:

  • In a small mixing bowl whisk together the flour and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon almond extract. Beat at medium speed until the butter mixture is creamy and light. Scrape down the sides of mixing bowl as needed. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture. Mix until well blended. Cover and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared pan. Keep remaining cookie dough refrigerated until needed. Make an indentation straight down into the center of each cookie (about half way to the bottom) with your smallest finger. Fill each with a well rounded ¼ teaspoon jam.
  • Bake for 11 to 15 minutes or until edges are just lightly browned. Let the cookies stand 1 minute before removing to a cooling rack. Cool completely.
  • Combine the glaze ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Drizzle over cookies and allow them to set.

This is a great recipe I stumbled across on the inside of a Land O Lakes butter box! I remember thinking that it looked good but recipes inside boxes couldn't possibly be good. Boy was I wrong. This one gets more compliments. Be sure to use real butter and roll small balls as it will help your cookies look better. The prep time does not including cooking time or cooling time.
