🍪 Buttery Raspberry Crumble Cookies
Golden, buttery cookies with a sweet raspberry jam center and a tender crumble topping. A bakery-style treat made easy at home!
🛒 Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup raspberry jam (seedless or not, up to you!)
👩🍳 Directions
1 Prep Time
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2 Cream the Butter & Sugar
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until it’s pale and fluffy.
3 Mix in the Good Stuff
Stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a crumbly dough forms that holds together when pressed.
4 Set Aside the Crumble
Scoop out about 1/2 cup of the dough and set it aside for the topping.
5 Form the Cookies
Roll the rest of the dough into 1.5-inch balls and space them 2 inches apart on your baking sheet.
6 Fill With Jam
Gently press a well into the center of each ball using your thumb or spoon. Add 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam into each.
7 Add the Crumble
Crumble the reserved dough over the tops for a perfect buttery finish.
8 Bake
Bake for 14–16 minutes, until edges are golden and crumble is just golden. Let cool 5 minutes on the tray, then move to a wire rack.

💡 Tips
Chill the dough slightly if it gets too soft to handle.
Try swapping in strawberry, apricot, or fig jam for a twist.
