These Raspberry Thumbprint cookies come together quickly with just a few ingredients.
Sugar Cookie Mix: This is the foundation of the cookie and provides convenience and consistency.
Butter or Margarine: Provides a rich, creamy taste that is characteristic of classic holiday cookies. Use soften (not melted) butter or margarine to control the spread and achieve the correct texture for these cookies.
Egg: The egg acts as a binder and adds richness and moisture.
All-Purpose Flour: A little extra flour is crucial for creating a dough that is firm enough to shape.
Seedless Raspberry Jam: The jam delivers a sweet and tart raspberry flavor that perfectly complements the buttery cookie base.
White Vanilla Baking Chips: The chips create a decorative drizzle that adds flavor and visual appeal.
To maintain the delightful taste and texture of your leftover Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies, proper storage is key. Here's how to keep them fresh.
The most important thing is to store the cookies in an airtight container. A container with a tight-fitting lid or a resealable plastic bag works well. If you're stacking the cookies, place a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper between the layers. Your cookies will keep up to 4 days.
Arrange the cooled cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 1-2 hours, or until the cookies are firm to the touch. Then transfer them to an airtight container or a freezer-safe resealable plastic bag. Squeeze out any excess air from the bag to prevent freezer burn. Frozen Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies can maintain good quality for up to 2-3 months. When you're ready to enjoy the cookies, thaw at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes.
