Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until the dough comes together.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, make a small indentation in the center of each dough ball.
Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam. Be careful not to overfill to prevent the jam from spilling out during baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies have cooled, dust them lightly with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
Serve and enjoy Mom's Raspberry Delights with a cup of tea or coffee!
