Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Sweet & Tart – Buttery shortbread meets tangy raspberry jam. A flavor match made in heaven!
- Quick & Easy – No fancy equipment or long prep times. Just mix, press, fill, and bake.
- Pantry-Friendly – You probably already have the butter, flour, and sugar on hand.
- Better Than Store-Bought – Skip the checkout lines and enjoy warm, homemade cookies fresh from your oven.
- Customizable – Not a raspberry fan? Try strawberry, apricot, or even lemon curd!
Ingredient Notes
- Butter – Unsalted butter is best. If you only have salted, reduce or omit added salt.
- Flour – All-purpose flour creates the perfect tender crumb.
- Sugar – A mix of granulated and powdered sugar gives these cookies their soft texture.
- Raspberry Jam – Costco uses raspberry, but feel free to swap with your favorite jam or preserve.
- Vanilla & Almond Extract – Vanilla adds warmth, and almond extract enhances the fruity flavor.
- Kosher Salt – Just a pinch to balance out the sweetness.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep Your Pan – Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease or spray a jumbo muffin tin (or use a regular one for smaller cookies).
- Make the Dough – Cream together butter, sugars, and extracts until smooth. Mix in flour and salt until crumbly but holds together when pressed.
- Form the Base – Scoop about ¼ cup of the mixture into each muffin well. Press into the bottom and slightly up the sides to form a crust.
- Add Jam – Spoon ½ to 1 tablespoon of raspberry jam into each crust.
- Top with Crumble – Sprinkle a heaping spoonful of the remaining dough mixture over each cookie.
- Bake – Bake 18–22 minutes, or until lightly golden. Cool completely before removing from the tin (they firm up as they cool).
Recipe Tips
- Don’t Overpack the Dough – Lightly press the crust so it holds together but stays tender.
- Cool Before Removing – These cookies are delicate straight from the oven. Let them cool in the pan to avoid crumbling.
- Storage – Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months. Place wax paper between layers if freezing.
- Smaller Cookies Option – Use a standard muffin tin. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for the base, 2 teaspoons of jam, and a sprinkle of crumble on top.
FAQs
What are raspberry crumble cookies?
They’re a cross between a cookie and a tart—soft, buttery, jam-filled, and topped with a crumbly streusel.
Can I make them vegan?
Yes! Use a dairy-free butter substitute. The texture may vary slightly, but they’ll still be delicious.
Can I use homemade jam?
Definitely. Just make sure the jam isn’t too runny, or the cookies may not set properly.
