Raspberry almond snowballs cookies Easy baking tech for buttery cookies with a jam filled surprise Simple powdered sugar dusted treat
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup finely chopped almonds
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
- 1 cup powdered sugar, for rolling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This is the base for our tender cookies! Beat in the almond extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add this to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Finally, stir in the finely chopped almonds. The dough might seem a bit crumbly, but it will come together when you roll it.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take about a tablespoon of dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a small teaspoon of raspberry jam in the center. Carefully fold the dough around the jam, rolling it into a smooth ball. Make sure the jam is completely enclosed to prevent leaking. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, about an inch apart.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the bottoms are just lightly golden. The tops should still be pale. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes—they are too fragile to handle when hot.
- Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl. While the cookies are still warm (but cool enough to touch), gently roll each one in the powdered sugar until fully coated. Let them cool completely on a wire rack, then give them a second roll in the powdered sugar for that perfect, snowy finish.
