Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter cubed and chilled
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp almond extract
  • 1 cup raspberry jam
  • Confectioners’ sugar optional for dusting

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Mix flour, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  3. Add cold cubed butter and mix until coarse, crumbly texture forms.
  4. Blend in vanilla and almond extract until slightly cohesive.
  5. Set aside some dough for crumble topping.
  6. Press dough into round cookie shapes and place on baking sheets.
  7. Spoon 1 tsp raspberry jam into the center of each cookie.
  8. Top cookies with reserved crumble dough without pressing down.
  9. Chill cookies for 15–20 minutes before baking.
  10. Bake for 15–18 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
  11. Cool on baking sheet briefly, then transfer to wire rack.
  12. Dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving if desired.

Notes

Keep butter cold to maintain a crumbly texture. Do not overmix dough. Seedless jam works best to prevent leaking during baking.
