Description

Delightful raspberry sugar cookies merge classic sweetness with fruity elegance from traditional American baking. Crimson-studded treats offer irresistible charm for dessert enthusiasts seeking simple yet memorable homemade pleasures.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 1/2 cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) raspberry jam (or 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, mashed)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F (175C), ensuring a consistent baking temperature for perfect cookies.
  2. Cream butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until the mixture becomes light, airy, and pale in color.
  3. Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt, whisking to distribute ingredients evenly.
  5. Gradually integrate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to avoid overmixing and maintain a tender cookie texture.
  6. Delicately fold in raspberry jam or mashed raspberries, creating swirls of fruity flavor throughout the dough.
  7. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
  8. Gently flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon, creating a slightly uniform shape.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden edges as an indicator of perfect doneness.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set their structure.
  11. Transfer cookies to a wire rack, allowing them to cool completely and develop their final texture.
  12. For the optional glaze, whisk powdered sugar, raspberry juice, and milk until achieving a smooth, drizzling consistency.
  13. Once cookies are fully cooled, elegantly drizzle the raspberry glaze across the surface, creating an appetizing finish.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and maintain the cookie’s shape.
  • Use fresh or frozen raspberries for the most vibrant flavor and natural color in the cookies.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
  • Adjust the raspberry intensity by using more or less jam, depending on your preferred fruit flavor.
