Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together for about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and pure vanilla extract, mixing for another 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder, then gradually incorporate into the wet mixture.
  5. Shape the cookie dough using a pastry bag or cookie scoop and space them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Create a small indentation in each cookie and fill with about 1/8 teaspoon of raspberry jam.
