The dough stays simple \u2014 high butter, little mixing \u2014 which means <strong>deliciously crumbly texture<\/strong> every time. Want a cookie that looks fancy but bakes with minimal fuss? Yep, this is it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A little backstory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I first started making these because I wanted a cookie that felt heirloom-y but actually tasted modern. I tweaked a tried-and-true recipe, added a touch more flour and dialed the almond back a hair for balance, and boom \u2014 a top-rated holiday staple. If you\u2019ve ever bookmarked a cookie to make \u201cfor the holidays,\u201d this belongs on that list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients &amp; why they matter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>1 cup unsalted butter, softened<\/strong> \u2014 fat equals tenderness and flavor. Use real butter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2\/3 cup granulated sugar (134 g)<\/strong> \u2014 sweetness and slight edge on the edges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1\/2 teaspoon almond extract<\/strong> \u2014 that bakery-note that makes these unforgettable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2 cups + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (\u2248255 g)<\/strong> \u2014 extra flour keeps the dough stable so cookies don\u2019t spread.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1\/2 cup seedless red <a href=\"https:\/\/9amchef.com\/raspberry-swirl-cookies-christmas-cookies\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1200\">raspberry jam<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 the bright, fruity center. Keep it cold until use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The icing (optional):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>1 cup powdered sugar<\/strong> + <strong>3\u20134 tsp water<\/strong> + <strong>1 tsp almond extract<\/strong> \u2014 whisk to a pourable drizzle for a pretty finish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients breakdown (short blurbs)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Butter: the more you care about it, the better these taste.<br>Sugar: keeps things simple \u2014 no fuss.<br>Almond extract: small amount, big impact.<br>Flour: the extra two tablespoons = <strong>less spreading<\/strong>. Trust me.<br>Jam: pick a seedless, bright-tasting raspberry jam for the best pop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step-by-step: How to make them<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chill &amp; prep.<\/strong> Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Beat the butter.<\/strong> In a bowl, beat the butter ~30 seconds; scrape the bowl.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add sugar &amp; almond.<\/strong> Mix in the sugar and the almond extract for ~30 seconds until combined.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add flour.<\/strong> On low speed, slowly add the flour until a dough forms. Scrape and fold by hand if needed. Stop when the dough comes together. <strong>Don\u2019t overwork it.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shape.<\/strong> Quickly roll dough into 1-inch balls (I use a #60 scoop). Arrange them spaced on the sheet. Press a small depression in each cookie with your fingertip or knuckle \u2014 keep it shallow (don\u2019t go past halfway).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chill.<\/strong> Refrigerate the tray at least 1 hour. If space is tight, cover and chill on a plate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fill &amp; bake.<\/strong> Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F if needed. Spoon ~1\/4 tsp jam into each thumbprint. Bake 11\u201313 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool 5 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a rack.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Glaze (optional).<\/strong> Stir powdered sugar with 1 tsp water and 1 tsp almond extract; add water until you reach a thin drizzle. Wait until cookies cool completely, then drizzle.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/9amchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Raspberry-Almond-Shortbread-Cookies-Delicious-Raspberry-Christmas-Cookies-2.webp\" alt=\"Raspberry Almond Shortbread Cookies \u2014 golden shortbread rounds with glossy raspberry jam centers and a light almond-scented glaze on a festive plate.\" class=\"wp-image-54775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9amchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Raspberry-Almond-Shortbread-Cookies-Delicious-Raspberry-Christmas-Cookies-2.webp 1024w, https:\/\/9amchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Raspberry-Almond-Shortbread-Cookies-Delicious-Raspberry-Christmas-Cookies-2-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/9amchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Raspberry-Almond-Shortbread-Cookies-Delicious-Raspberry-Christmas-Cookies-2-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/9amchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Raspberry-Almond-Shortbread-Cookies-Delicious-Raspberry-Christmas-Cookies-2-768x768.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pro tips for consistent success<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Keep the dough cold at all times.<\/strong> Warm dough = spreading.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mix sparingly.<\/strong> Overmixing tightens gluten and ruins the tender shortbread texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use room-temperature butter<\/strong> \u2014 warm enough to work but not melty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make small indentations.<\/strong> Use your fingertip or knuckle, not your whole thumb, for a neat jam well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chill the jam between batches<\/strong> so it stays firm when spooned.<br><strong>Bold tip:<\/strong> <strong>Add the extra 2 tablespoons of flour \u2014 it prevents most spreading problems.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations to try<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Swap almond extract for vanilla if you prefer a milder profile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use apricot or strawberry jam for a different fruity twist.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Press in a few chopped toasted almonds around the rim for crunch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make a double batch and sandwich two cookies with jam for mini sandwich cookies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best ways to serve<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Serve these as part of a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/9amchef.com\/delicious-holiday-cookies-easy-christmas-crack-cookies\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1203\">holiday cookie<\/a> platter<\/strong>, tucked into gift tins, or alongside coffee and tea.

Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">In a medium bowl, beat the butter about 30 seconds until soft; scrape the bowl.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">Add the sugar and almond extract, then beat another 30 seconds just to combine. Keep it short\u2014don\u2019t overwork it.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">On low speed, add the flour in batches until the dough just comes together. If any dry bits remain at the bottom, fold them in with a spatula. Avoid excessive mixing.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">Quickly portion the dough into roughly 1-inch spheres (I use a #60 scoop). Arrange them on the prepared sheet, leaving space between.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Gently press a small, shallow well into the center of each ball using your fingertip or knuckle \u2014 aim for a neat little cup, not a flat pancake.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">Chill the tray for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. If your fridge is full, place cookies on paper plates and cover with plastic wrap.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-8\">When chilled, remove enough for one pan. Spoon about 1\/4 teaspoon jam into each well, filling the cavity but not overstuffing.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-9\">Bake 11\u201313 minutes, until the edges take on a faint golden tint. Tops will stay pale. Let cookies rest on the pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Method \u2014 Glaze<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-10\">In a small bowl, whisk the powdered sugar with 1 teaspoon water and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Add more water, a drop at a time, until the mixture reaches a thin drizzle.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-11\">Once cookies are fully cool, drizzle the glaze over them and allow it to set before stacking or packing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<hr data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.border-color secondary-color.background-color\">\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes\">\n\t\t\t<h3 data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Notes<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes-body\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul>\n<li><strong>Quick Notes &amp; Pro Tips<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t overmix the dough. Minimal handling = tender shortbread.<\/li>\n<li>Keep the dough cold. Warm dough spreads. Pop it back in the fridge anytime it feels floppy.<\/li>\n<li>Room-temp butter means workable, not mushy. A 30-minute rest on the counter usually does the trick.<\/li>\n<li>Use your knuckle or fingertip to make the jam well \u2014 thumbs are often too wide and flatten the cookie. Make the impression shallow; don\u2019t press deeper than halfway.<\/li>\n<li>Chill the jam between batches so it holds shape when you spoon it in.<\/li>\n<li>If you want a little sparkle, brush the edges with a touch of water and sprinkle granulated sugar before baking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Bold tip: Chilling the formed cookies before baking is the single best way to stop them from spreading.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Storage &amp; Make-Ahead<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Unfrosted baked cookies keep in an airtight container at room temperature for ~3 days, or refrigerated up to 6.<\/li>\n<li>Dough balls freeze well: flash-freeze on a tray for ~3 hours, then bag.
