Crust and Topping
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Filling
- 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
- Prepare the Oven and Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a jumbo muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or grease and flour the wells. Set aside.
- Make the Crust and Topping: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract for 1-2 minutes until well combined. Add in the flour and salt, mixing just until combined. The mixture should remain slightly crumbly—avoid overmixing to keep the dough tender.
- Form the Cookie Base: Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture into each muffin well. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides, forming a well in the center. Press gently to compact but avoid overpacking, which could make the crust tough.
- Add the Raspberry Filling: Spoon 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of raspberry jam into the center of each cookie base.
- Top and Bake: Sprinkle each cookie with a heaping tablespoon of the remaining crumble mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool completely in the pan. To remove them, you may need to gently run a knife around the edges. Enjoy!
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough to keep the crumb texture tender.
- Use seedless raspberry jam to avoid seeds in the cookies.
- Chilling the dough before baking is optional but can help the cookies hold their shape better.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a nut allergy-friendly version, omit almond extract or substitute with additional vanilla extract.
