Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup raspberry jam
½ cup fresh raspberries
½ cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter & Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Add Raspberry Filling: Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, create a small indent in the center of each dough ball. Spoon a small amount of raspberry jam into each indentation and gently press a fresh raspberry on top.
Bake: Bake for 12–14 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Cool & Dust: Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Once completely cool, dust with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.
