Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ¼ cups (280 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) seedless raspberry jam
Sugars and Extracts:
- ⅓ cup (40 grams) powdered sugar
- ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
Seasoning:
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to a moderate temperature and prepare a jumbo muffin pan by lightly coating each well with baking spray or butter and flour.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, whip together butter, powdered and granulated sugars, vanilla, and almond extracts until the mixture becomes fluffy and light-colored.
- Gently fold flour and salt into the creamy base, mixing until just combined. The texture should resemble coarse, crumbly sand. Use a stiff utensil and avoid overworking the dough to maintain a tender cookie consistency.
- Distribute approximately a quarter cup of the crumbly mixture into each muffin well, carefully pressing the dough to form a base and slight edges, creating a small reservoir for the jam.
- Carefully dollop a generous spoonful of raspberry jam into the center of each prepared cookie base, ensuring even placement.
- Delicately sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the jam, providing complete coverage and creating a rustic, textured top.
- Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake until the edges and tops develop a subtle golden-brown hue, typically requiring 18-22 minutes.
- Once baked, allow the cookies to cool completely within the pan. When fully cooled, use a thin spatula to gently loosen the edges and carefully extract each cookie.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality raspberry jam to elevate the flavor profile and ensure a rich, authentic taste in these delightful crumble cookies.
- Avoid overmixing the dough to maintain a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture that defines these delectable treats.
- Use a jumbo muffin pan for perfectly shaped cookies with crisp edges and a soft, jammy center.
- Cool cookies completely in the pan to prevent breaking and ensure they set properly for easy removal.
- Experiment with different jam flavors like strawberry or apricot for a personalized twist on this classic recipe.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their irresistible crumbly texture.
