  • Prep Time 15 minutes
  • Cook Time 90 minutes
  • Yield 15 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups gluten free all purpose baking flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup white sugar for rolling
  • ⅓ cup raspberry jam or jam of choice


Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl or using a stand mixer, beat together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar for about 1 minute.
  3. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Gradually incorporate the flour and salt into the mixture until fully combined.
  4. Scoop out small amounts of dough (about 1 tablespoon each), roll them in the reserved sugar, and place them on the baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  5. Gently press down on each cookie and use the back of a teaspoon to create an indent in the center.
  6. Refrigerate the cookies for 1 hour to set.
  7. While the cookies are chilling, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  8. Once preheated, bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. If any indents have filled in, reshape them with the teaspoon. Fill each cookie with about 1 teaspoon of jam. Allow to cool before serving.

Notes

For a different flavor, you can substitute the raspberry jam with your favorite flavors, such as strawberry or apricot.
Ensure the baking flour is certified gluten-free for true gluten-free cookies.
