🎄🍓 Raspberry Cream Cheese Cookies 🍪❤️
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
4 ounces (113 g) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (160 g) seedless raspberry preserves
Powdered sugar, for dusting, optional
Directions:
Prepare the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the Butter and Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
Add the Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Make the Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cream cheese mixture, mixing just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Chilling makes the dough easier to shape and helps the cookies hold their form while baking.
Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) between each cookie. Gently press an indentation into the center of each ball using your thumb or the back of a small spoon.
Fill with Raspberry: Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry preserves into the center of each cookie.
Bake: Bake for 10–13 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set. Avoid overbaking so they remain soft and tender.
Cool and Decorate: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust lightly with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
