Raspberry Cheesecake Thumbprint Cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup raspberry jam
Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until just combined. The dough will be soft.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, create an indentation in the center of each cookie. Fill the indentation with a small amount of raspberry jam.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
