My Infamous Christams Cookies

• total time: 2 hours 13 minutes

Ingredients

Raspberry thumbprint cookies!

Recipe 🎄

1 cup unsalted butter-room temp (use best quality butter you can find. Makes all the difference)

2/3 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp almond extract (don’t go over, this is super strong)

1/4 tsp salt

2 1/4 cup flour

1/2 cup raspberry jam

Icing

1 cup confectioners sugar

1-2 Tbsp cream or milk

1 tsp vanilla

Use mixer with paddle attachment and beat butter until fluffy. Add the sugar and extracts and beat 1 min scrap sides of bowl as you go.

Turn speed down and add salt and flour.

Directions

Mix until a dough forms. Press it into a dough ball and refrigerate for 2 hours. This is very necessary!!

Preheat oven to 350°f

Line cookie sheets with parchment. Roll each cookie to about a 1 inch dough ball size (like 1 Tbsp each) put on parchment and press thumb Into each one making a well for the jam. Add jam to each one. I use the jam with the seeds! Bake 13 min! That’s it!

Let them cool completely before icing them

Mix together ingredients for icing and use a ziploc bag with a tiny tiny bit of the corner cut off. Drizzle over each cookie!
