Description
Incredible Raspberry Crumble Cookies are buttery, soft, and filled with sweet-tart raspberry jam, topped with a golden brown crumble. They taste like a mix between a cookie and a fruit crumble bar — perfect for tea time, dessert trays, or gifting during the holidays.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup raspberry jam (seedless preferred)
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats (optional for crumble texture)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Set aside 1/2 cup of dough to use as the crumble topping. Stir oats into this portion if desired.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion dough onto the baking sheet. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to create an indentation in the center of each cookie.
- Fill each indentation with about 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam.
- Sprinkle a small amount of the reserved crumble dough over the top of each cookie.
- Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
Notes
- Substitute raspberry jam with strawberry, apricot, or blueberry for variety.
- Ensure butter is softened but not melted for the perfect dough texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
