Raspberry-Almond Streusel Cookies  


This traditional thumbprint cookie is even more festive with a sugary streusel. Paired with our pinwheels and bonbons, these cookies add color to your holiday sweets collection.

 
 

INGREDIENTS
Cookie:
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup raspberry jam
Streusel:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons almond extract
2/3 teaspoons water
 

METHOD

In a large bowl of an electric mixer, combine sugar, butter and almond extract. Beat at medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes until creamy. Reduce speed to low and add flour. Beat until well-mixed, about 2 minutes. Cover and chill dough at least 1 hour.

Heat oven to 350°. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on a baking sheet coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick. Using your thumb, make an indentation in the center of each ball and fill with about 1/4 teaspoon of jam. Bake for 14 to 18 minutes or until the edges are slightly brown. Let stand for a minute, remove from the baking sheet and let cookies cool completely.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the streusel ingredients until smooth, adding more water if necessary. Streusel topping should be creamy, not watery. Drizzle over each cookie.
