Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup raspberry jam (seedless preferred)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Start by preparing the raspberry swirl: Mix raspberry jam and cornstarch in a small bowl and microwave for 10–15 seconds until slightly thickened. Let it cool.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually combine this dry mixture with the wet ingredients until just incorporated.
- Gently fold in the cooled raspberry jam while keeping visible streaks.
- Chill the dough for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Scoop out about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Bake on a parchment-lined sheet at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes until edges are set and tops crackle.
- Cool on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack.
