My mother, cousin, Merrilee and I got together last week and made cookies. I wanted to share one of my favorites with you! This is Merrilee’s recipe!!
Raspberry Lemon Thumbprint Cookies
Recipe Type: Desserts
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Raspberry Jam
- 1/2 cup Lemon Curd
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 sticks butter, at room temp
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- With Jam and Curd, you need to add a little water or OJ to loosen it up. We used water.
- Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Wisk to blend.
- In separate bowl, beat butter and sugar with mixer until light and creamy. Beat in egg yolks, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla.
- Add flour mixture slowly and beat until moist clumps form.
- Roll dough into balls. (we placed balls on parchment paper, on cookie sheets)
- Use floured 1/2 teaspoon to create depressions into balls.
- Fill holes with Jam and cook about 15-20 minutes.
We also made a yummy icing to put on the Raspberry Jam cookies. Just take powdered sugar and oj or lemon juice. Place in baggie and cut small hole. Then drizzle on top.
