Ingredients
For the Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
How to Make Costco Raspberry Crumble Cookies
Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a jumbo muffin tin with nonstick spray or butter and lightly flour the wells to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Make the Crumble Dough
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth and creamy.
Add the flour and salt, then mix just until combined.
The mixture should look crumbly — that’s exactly what you want. Avoid overmixing or the cookies may turn tough.
Step 3: Form the Cookie Base
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the crumb mixture into each muffin well.
Press the dough gently into the bottom and slightly up the sides to create a shallow cookie cup.
Do not press too firmly or the crust may become dense instead of tender.
Step 4: Add the Raspberry Filling
Spoon about 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of raspberry jam into the center of each cookie.
The raspberry filling adds the perfect balance of sweetness and tart flavor.
Step 5: Add the Crumble Topping
Sprinkle a generous tablespoon of the remaining crumble mixture over the top of each cookie.
This creates that signature Costco-style buttery crumble topping everyone loves.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool completely in the muffin tin before removing them. This step is important because the cookies are delicate while warm.
Run a butter knife around the edges if needed to gently lift them out.
Tips for Perfect Raspberry Crumble Cookies
- Let the cookies cool completely before removing them to prevent crumbling.
- Use seedless raspberry jam for the smoothest texture.
- Almond extract adds bakery-style flavor, but you can substitute extra vanilla if preferred.
- Don’t overmix the dough — crumbly dough creates the best texture.
- For extra richness, chill the cookies slightly before serving.
Variations
Strawberry Crumble Cookies

Mixed Berry Version

Lemon Raspberry Cookies

Chocolate Raspberry

Storage Tips
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
To freeze, place parchment or wax paper between each cookie and freeze in a sealed container for up to 3 months.
