Ingredients
- 1 package (approx. 17.5 oz) sugar cookie mix
- 0.5 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup raspberry jam
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the sugar cookie mix, softened butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms, ensuring no dry mix remains.
Step 3
Scoop 1-inch balls of dough using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon and place them onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Step 4
Using your thumb or the back of a teaspoon, gently press down in the center of each dough ball to create a small well. Be careful not to press all the way through the dough.
Step 5
Fill each indentation with about 1/4 teaspoon of raspberry jam, making sure not to overfill to prevent spillover during baking.
Step 6
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
Step 7
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Once the cookies are fully cooled, lightly dust them with powdered sugar for an optional decorative touch.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
