Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250 g / 8.8 oz) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (225 g / 8 oz) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (240 g / 8.5 oz) raspberry preserves (seedless or regular)
Sweeteners and Sugars:
- ½ cup (100 g / 3.5 oz) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (60 g / 2.1 oz) powdered sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g / 1.8 oz) light brown sugar, packed
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- ¼ cup (55 g / 1.9 oz) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing bowl, whip softened butter with granulated and powdered sugars using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes airy and transforms into a creamy, pale consistency.
- Incorporate egg yolk and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly until the ingredients harmonize into a smooth base.
- Gently fold in flour and salt, stirring minimally to prevent overworking the dough, ensuring it just barely coheres into a unified mass.
- Encase the dough completely in plastic wrap, then refrigerate for half an hour to allow the ingredients to rest and the texture to solidify.
Notes
- Chill the dough thoroughly to prevent spreading and maintain the cookie’s shape during baking.
- Use cold butter straight from the refrigerator for a flakier, more tender cookie texture.
- Experiment with different fruit preserves like strawberry or apricot for unique flavor variations that complement the buttery base.
- For a gluten-free version, swap traditional flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend, ensuring the same delicate crumb and rich taste.
