Delicious raspberry thumbprint shortbread cookies

Last Tuesday, I shared my family’s easy and delicious chocolate chip cookies recipe as part of my new weekly feature, Tasty Tuesday. Today I am back with another extra yummy (and easy) cookie recipe — raspberry thumbprint shortbread cookies!

My raspberry shortbread cookies have a delicious shortbread base with a dollop of raspberry jam as their centers. My family loves them!

These cookies are not difficult to make – you can mix up the dough for these cookies in a food processor or in a stand mixer. After that, all you do is make small balls of dough, place them on a cookie sheet, leave your thumbprint in the middle and fill them with jelly or jam!

The only “hard” part of this recipe might be that they need to be chilled for a few minutes before popping them in the oven. As someone whose fridge is always full, it was a little difficult to make room for my pans of cookies!

But after that, my cookies baked up quickly, and were delicious! My family was happy to eat at least some of these cookies as soon as they came out of the oven.
