I can't believe I'm already halfway through my 12 Cookies of Christmas series. I have baked close to 25 dozen cookies in the last week!
Today's recipe is for Raspberry Thumbprints. I love raspberries' strong tart flavor. I use frozen raspberries to make sorbet. When we go to a coffee shop, I always order raspberry cappuccino. When I was a teenager, I would drink a cup of raspberry hot cocoa every night.
I picked up this recipe the same time I found Land O Lakes Peppermint Meltaways. The sweet almond flavor contrasts with the tart raspberry jam. The crisp shortbread melts in your mouth. These dainty cookies are great for a Christmas tea or to package and give as a gift.
First, I combined butter, sugar, and almond extract in my Kitchen Aid.
Afterward, I added flour and mixed it...
until I had a rich dough.
I used my cookie scoop to spoon out the dough before I rolled it into balls
and pressed it down with my middle finger.
Then, I took a 1/4 tsp. measuring spoon to drop raspberry jam
in the center of the cookies.
I baked the cookies at 350F for 15 minutes.
After the cookies cooled, I used a parchment triangle
to ice thicker frosting on the top of the cookies.
I'm not good at "drizzling."
Darling and delicious cookies!
As I mentioned above, this is a recipe from Land O Lakes.

Do you have a cookie recipe that calls for jam? What is it?
