It’s been a long time since I made or eaten a jam-filled cookie and since this is Christmas Cookies Week it seems fitting to make these delicious raspberry shortbread cookie. All this week, over 20 bloggers will be sharing our best cookies for the holiday season.  You can follow the hashtag, #ChristmasCookies on social media to see what we’re sharing. 
 
We are also very fortunate that two amazing sponsors sent us goodies to use in our recipes and at the end of this post and see all of today’s recipes that are linked.  So many yummy cookies to be made and shared.
 
Back to these raspberry shortbread cookies, a tray of the sweet treats would be perfect to take to your holiday parties or cookie swaps.  In our house, they’re gone before I can even think of taking them anywhere.  I typically have to place a note on anything that is going somewhere other than my family’s bellies!  It’s true!

This recipe is super easy to follow and if you prefer to use another flavor of jam, do so!  I love how the glaze on the cookies make them even more festive and elegant.  
 

Tips to Make Raspberry Shortbread Cookies:

Be sure your butter is softened at room temperature, this will help it blend well into the dry ingredients. If you don’t have almond extract, you can use vanilla extract instead.  The almond, I think, gives the cookies just a bit more of a “wow” factor.
 
Don’t skip the chilling of the dough for about an hour. The dough will be much easier to handle when you are rolling your dough balls.

To make the indentation, in the dough ball, you can use your thumb or the back of a 1/2 teaspoon.

When filling the indentations with jam, I used a heaping 1/4 teaspoon. You don’t want too much jam or it will spill out while baking.

When you are making the glaze, you want it thin enough to drizzle, but thick enough to stay on the cookie.

    Those are soooo pretty and perfect for the holidays. If I had to choose one cookie, it would be shortbread.

    Shortbread is my favorite kind of cookies- so buttery and delish. My husband would agree as he loves the raspberry filled ones that this would be perfect for us.

      I am totally sorry!! I update the recipe. I had added but I am guessing I forgot to update and save the changes. It’s 2 cups of flour.
