Raspberry and Almond Shortbread Thumbprints

Sweets

19 Dec

 


A buttery, decadent and beautiful cookie filled with raspberry jam and packed with almond flavoring

These cookies are my absolute favorite cookies. The mixture of the buttery almond flavor with the sweet raspberry jam and almond drizzle is it for me. They are so pretty and look so fancy even though they are honestly pretty easy to make. These are great to bring to a party because they look so beautiful and taste so great, but they are a lot quicker to make than they look. I made them for a recent holiday party and they were much quicker than making sugar cookies like I made for the party last year.

One recommendation I would make though is that you can double the recipe, but don’t do more than that. I tripled the recipe last time I made it, and the flour and butter were hard to incorporate evenly throughout the entire dough. I ended up having too-buttery cookies from the top of the batter, and too-floury cookies from the bottom. The too-buttery (we’re making that a word) cookies spread out too much while baking, and the too-floury (let’s make that a word too) cookies were hard to shape into balls because they didn’t have enough butter to hold them together.

Another recommendation I would make is to use Smucker’s Red Raspberry Preserves. It is delicious and the perfect taste to go with the almond and butter delight.

And to carry the cookies, I would HIGHLY recommend buying a cupcake courier. You can buy them here on Amazon and you get free shipping. They have a blue and pink option. My sister-in-law gave this to me for my birthday one year and I have used it countless times. It completely helps me avoid the awkward transport of baked goods in my car without totally ruining them or getting crumbs everywhere. I LOVE IT. Honestly one of my favorite kitchen gadgets. It has an option to carry 36 cupcakes, or like I did, put a plastic flat piece over each cupcake holder and transport cookies. You can also take the trays out and transport a cake! No more have your cookies or cupcakes ruined or fly off the tray when you are driving. YAY! Then what I’ll do is take a cute platter and transport them to the platter when I get to my destination.

Raspberry and Almond Shortbread Thumbprints
 
Printable recipe
Yield: 16 cookies
 
Ingredients
 
For the cookies:
 
1 cup butter
2/3 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups all purpsose flour
1/2 cup raspberry jam
 
For the drizzle on top:
1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 Tbsp milk (or more to get the consistency you want)
 
Directions
 
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)
 
2. In a mixer, cream together butter and white sugar until smooth. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. Mix in flour until dough comes together. Roll dough into 2 inch balls, and place on ungreased cookie sheets. 
 
3. Make a small hole in the center of each ball, using your thumb and finger, and fill the hole with preserves. You may need to use your other hand to help shape the dough as you press the small hole so the dough stays together more.
 
4. Bake for 14 to 18 minutes in preheated oven, or until lightly browned. I like mine less cooked so they are softer. Let cool 1 minute on the cookie sheet then let cool on cooling racks.
 
5. In a medium bowl, mix together the confectioner’s sugar, 3/4 teaspoon almond extract, and milk until smooth. Add more to get the consistency that you want. Add it to a plastic sandwich bag and cut a very small bit off of the corner. Drizzle lightly over warm cookies.
 
6. Enjoy!!

Jenica Parcell I Fashion Deals & Infertility Coach
This week I was asked this question: “You believ This week I was asked this question: “You believe IN Jesus Christ…but do you believe Him? Do you believe Him when He says He will heal you?”

This made me pause! Do I? Not often enough. I believe that He lived and He atoned for our sins. But I often worry and fear and forget that He’s already paved the way. I often have anxiety about an unknown future and forget that nothing surprises Him and His way is the way home. We know how this all ends. We have the path! But do we believe Him when He says He will heal us? Actually believe that He says what He promises?

I want my kids to know that I believe in Him AND I believe Him. Grateful grateful grateful for the right questions! #parcellsundayselfie 6/5/22
Motherhood has given me a small glimpse at what Go Motherhood has given me a small glimpse at what God thinks of His children, too. Us. I’ll be looking at my kids in awe of every little detail of perfection. Just staring. Thinking how perfect their eyes are, and their cheeks, and the way they say things. Even though they really aren’t perfect, you know? Except they are.

I think that’s what God sees in us, too. We aren’t perfect and yet He sees us that way.

How our flaws aren’t that big of a deal.

That it’s okay because He encourages us to try again.

We spill, and don’t say things right, and mess up.

But He looks at us the way we look at our kids. I think it’s really cool that someone loves us that much, too ❤️
Happy Sunday, friends! ✨ I love this family of m Happy Sunday, friends! ✨ I love this family of mine. I think the family structure is such a gift. “In family relationships, 'love' is really spelled 't-i-m-e,' time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home.” - Dieter F. Uchtdorf (one of my FAV speakers!)

My kids will be 6 in July and my mom said to me recently, “they’re 1/3 of the way to 18!” 🤯 That just boggles my mind. Time truly does go quickly and that’s a good thing because that reminder allows you soak up the good times AND that reminder allows you to know that hard times will pass. ❤️

I hope you get some good times this weekend, friends! #parcellsundayselfie 5/29/22
Snaps from the weekend with our little family! Gol Snaps from the weekend with our little family! Goldie had her spring recital and one of my favorite parts is that Harris is always so excited to cheer her on. I think that’s one of the best parts about being a family. We’re each other’s people! Through the highs and the lows.

Goldie got back in the car after her dance pictures on Friday and said, “I need snack after all that excitement!”

We hope you had a great weekend! xo #parcellsundayselfie 5/22/22
Slowly making my way through every vending machine Slowly making my way through every vending machine in Utah, selling out the crap you don’t want your kids to eat. “No” isn’t a sound that comes frequently out of my mouth these days when asked by my kids if those gummies are coming home with us. Anyone have change for a $5?

16 weeks tomorrow! Feeling great!! #16weekspregnant #ivfsuccess
Happy Sunday! Tell me the most important things yo Happy Sunday! Tell me the most important things you focus on teaching your kids? 👇🏻

For me, it’s teaching them who they are which is children of God and where to find peace and direction.

The thing I need to work on teaching them more is how to clean up after themselves 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Give me your best tips! Tyler and I have started to say we will give away the items that they don’t clean up. If they aren’t responsible enough to take care of them, they aren’t responsible enough to own them.
