Print Recipe

Raspberry Frosted Thumbprint Cookies are soft, buttery cookies with a dollop of raspberry jam at the center, topped with a creamy glaze and fresh berries. These elegant and fruity treats are perfect for tea time or holiday celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or cream (for glaze)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)
  • Fresh raspberries (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt, then gradually mix into the wet ingredients to form a soft dough.
  5. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to gently press a well into the center of each cookie.
  7. Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam.
  8. Bake for 12–14 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk or cream, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over cooled cookies and top each with a fresh raspberry if desired.

Notes

  • Let cookies cool completely before glazing to prevent it from melting.
  • Use seedless raspberry jam for a smoother filling.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Add fresh raspberries just before serving.
