Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup Cold Unsalted Butter
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- ¾ cup Granulated Sugar
Supporting Ingredients:
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ½ teaspoon Almond Extract
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon Raspberry Jam
Instructions
- Grab your stand mixer and toss in 2 cups of all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¾ cup granulated sugar. Blend on low speed until the dry ingredients are just incorporated.
- Dice 1 cup of cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Drop the cubes into the flour mixture and blend on low for 1 minute until the texture transforms into coarse, sandy crumbs.
- Stream 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon almond extract into the mixer. Continue blending on low for 2-3 minutes until the dough becomes a crumbly yet slightly cohesive mixture.
- Use your hands to create varied crumb sizes – some larger, some smaller – which will give your cookies interesting texture and visual appeal.
- Prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cookie removal.
- Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie. Press the dough firmly into a round cookie cutter to maintain consistent shape.
- Place 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam directly in the center of each formed cookie. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture generously across the top.
- Transfer the shaped cookies into the refrigerator to chill while preheating your oven to 350°F. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the edges turn a delicate golden brown.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to rest on the baking sheet for 3-4 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Cold butter is crucial for creating those perfect, crumbly cookie textures that melt in your mouth.
- Chilling the dough before baking helps prevent spreading and maintains the cookies’ delicate shape.
- Experiment with different jam flavors like apricot or strawberry to customize these delightful treats.
- Use a light touch when forming crumbs to ensure a tender, delicate cookie consistency.
