Raspberry Almond Thumbprint Cookies are a soft buttery shortbread cookie filled with raspberry jam and drizzled with a sweet almond icing!
out of all the cookies you plan on making this holiday season,
these are the crown jewel of cookies!
they’re melt in your mouth delicious and they have the perfect consistency!
perfect for cookie exchanges, to give out as gifts,
or just for an amazing dessert to bake with the kids!
there’s nothing better than biting into these warm raspberry thumbprint cookies with a big cold glass of milk!
i always bake a couple extra batches of these and fill them with different types of jams,
i do blueberry, raspberry & strawberry versions!
these are literally my all time favorite cookie recipe, the filling options are absolutely endless!
they’re gorgeous as well as being surprisingly easy to make!
with these you can use the jam or preserves of your choice, they’re are so many to choose from!
i recommend adding the jam prior to baking, as they cool they will firm up a little, enough that it will be sticky but not fall out.
