Ingredients
-
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
¼ cup granulated sugar
-
⅓ cup powdered sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 teaspoon almond extract
-
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon kosher salt
-
½ cup seedless raspberry jam (preserves work best for texture)
📝 Baking Tip: Use seedless raspberry preserves to get a smooth texture without the crunch of seeds. Look for high-quality preserves with real fruit for the best flavor.
Instructions
This recipe makes 12 jumbo cookies using a jumbo muffin tin—the secret to getting those deep, perfectly round bakery-style cookies.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spray a jumbo muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or grease and flour each well thoroughly to prevent sticking.
💡 Don’t have a jumbo muffin tin? You can use standard muffin tins and adjust the baking time slightly—check at 15–18 minutes.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract for about 1–2 minutes, until light and fluffy.
Add in the flour and kosher salt, mixing just until combined. The dough should be crumbly but moist enough to hold together when pressed. Don’t overmix—this ensures a tender cookie.
Scoop about ¼ cup of the dough mixture into each muffin well.
Press the dough into the bottom and slightly up the sides to create a little well or cup shape. Gently press into the pan, but don’t compact it too tightly—this helps keep the cookie tender.
Place ½ to 1 tablespoon of seedless raspberry jam into the center of each cookie. A heaping spoonful works well if you love extra filling.
Use the remaining dough mixture to sprinkle a heaping tablespoon of crumble over each cookie, gently pressing it down to stick but leaving some texture on top.
Bake the cookies for 18–22 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the topping is just turning golden.
Let them cool completely in the pan before attempting to remove.
🧁 Tip for Removal: Run a thin knife around the edge of each cookie if needed to gently pop them out of the muffin wells.
