Description
A delicious, melt-in-your-mouth cookie with a buttery shortbread base, tart raspberry jam, and a golden crumble topping.
Ingredients
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
1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 3: Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract until well combined.
Step 4: Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Step 5: Set aside about 1/2 cup of the dough for the topping. Press the remaining dough evenly onto the prepared baking sheet into a rectangle or individual circles.
Step 6: Spread the raspberry jam in a thin layer over the base dough.
Step 7: Crumble the reserved dough over the jam layer using your fingers.
Step 8: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crumble topping is lightly golden brown.
Step 9: Allow to cool completely on the pan before cutting into squares or removing individual cookies.
Notes
Ensure the butter is truly at room temperature for the best texture. Seedless raspberry jam yields a more refined look and smoother bite.
