Description

A wonderful shortbread with almond flavor, raspberry center and a sweet glaze over top!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SHORTBREAD:
  • ⅔ cups Sugar
  • 1 cup Butter, Softened
  • ½ teaspoons Almond Extract
  • 2 cups Flour
  • ½ cups Seedless Raspberry Jam
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Almond Extract
  • 2 teaspoons Water

Preparation

In a large mixer bowl, combine sugar, butter, and almond extract. Beat at medium speed until creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Reduce speed to low; add flour. Beat until well-mixed, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Cover and chill dough at least 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place the balls 2 inches apart on parchment paper lined cookie sheets. With your thumb, make an indentation in the center of each cookie (edges may slightly crack). Fill each indentation with about 1/4 teaspoon raspberry jam.

Bake for 14 to 18 minutes or until edges are slightly browned. Let stand 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet. Cool completely.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together all glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over cookies.

These are delicious little cookies that would go well with tea! I almost forgot the glaze but I must say, don’t leave that out…it makes a big difference. One thing I found was that the amount of water for the glaze was not nearly enough. I suspect it should be tablespoons, not teaspoons. Regardless, just add a bit more until it thins out enough. Also, the cookies browned very easily (cooked mine on a silpat). I was able to reduce the cooking time to 10 mins and they were still very golden brown on the bottom, and much flatter than what’s shown in the picture. They weren’t the prettiest cookie, but that doesn’t detract from the taste. And they’re SO easy to make. Okay, I’m done writing this novel. :P
