Raspberry Jam Cookies for #ChristmasCookies
These beautiful little cookies look like scoops of ice cream before baking! The texture of these is so light and tender - and the flavor is enhanced by the addition of Adams Vanilla Extract. This event is the first time I've had the opportunity to try Adams and ooohhh it's good stuff! I opened the bottle just to smell the vanilla numerous times. It is a wonderful vanilla extract - a strong, clean, delicious flavor profile. Their almond extract is just as amazing! I had a chance to use that in one of the other recipes I'll be sharing this week.

Ingredients
8 Tablespoons (1 stick) butter, room temperature
⅔ cups granulated sugar
1 large egg
¼ teaspoon dried lemon zest
½ teaspoon Adams vanilla extract
¼ cup raspberry jam
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line 2 cookie sheets with silpats (I loved my Analon cookie sheets - no silpats needed for those!)
- Place the softened butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and whip on medium-high speed until lightened in color and creamy (a couple minutes).
- Scraped down the sides and blend in the egg, then the lemon zest and Adams Vanilla Extract. Blend well, again scraping down the sides as needed. Blend in the raspberry jam.
- In a medium bowl combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture and blend slowly until incorporated.
- Finish combining with a spatula if needed. Use a 1 1/2 TBS cookie scoop and scoop cookie onto prepared baking sheets (12 per sheet).
- Bake in the preheated oven 12-13 minutes, until the bottom is lightly golden brown at the edges. Allow to cool on baking sheets 3-5 minutes and then carefully move to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
