Ingredients
- 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (160 g) raspberry jam (or other fruit jam)
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the dough: Cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in egg yolk and vanilla until smooth.
- Add dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Shape the cookies: Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough, roll into balls, and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Press an indentation in the center of each with your thumb or a spoon.
- Fill and top: Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam into each indentation. Crumble small bits of remaining dough over each cookie for a streusel-like topping.
- Bake: Bake 12–15 minutes, until edges are golden and crumble topping is set.
- Cool and serve: Cool on the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- Try other jams like apricot, blueberry, or strawberry for variety.
- Add chopped nuts (almonds or pecans) to the crumble for a nutty twist.
- Drizzle cooled cookies with melted white or dark chocolate for an elegant touch.
- Use lemon curd for a bright citrus variation.
- Store in an airtight container for 4 days or freeze up to 2 months.
