Steps To Make Raspberry Crumble Cookies:
Want To Save This Recipe?
Step 1: To make the crust and topping start by combining butter, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract. Cream them together for about 1 to 2 minutes to create a slightly crumbly mixture. Then add flour and salt to the mixture until they are just combined. Be careful not to overmix so that you can maintain a perfect texture, for this recipe.
Step 2: Take 1/4 cup of the mixture. Gently press it into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin well. Make sure not to pack it because we want to achieve a tender crust. After that put 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of raspberry preserves in the center of each cookie. Finally sprinkle a tablespoon of the remaining topping, over each cookie.
Step 3: Place them in the oven. Bake for around 18 to 22 minutes or until you see that the edges have turned lightly golden. Once they are done baking allow them to cool completely before removing them from the muffin tin.
Tip:
Take your Raspberry Crumble Cookies to the next level by warming up the jam before spooning it onto the cookie dough. This delicate step not only brings out the flavors of the jam but also ensures an even distribution resulting in delightful pockets of fruity goodness in every bite. Just pop it in the microwave for a zap or heat it on the stovetop for a seconds – this small act of warming transforms a good cookie into an extraordinary one filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma and making your cookies the talk of the town. Enjoy the baking journey!
