Raspberry Almond Shortbread Cookies
I’ve been so excited about posting this raspberry almond shortbread cookies recipe because it’s hands-down my favorite recipe of the year. It’s so very simple, but so amazingly good. These are just my kind of cookies, and they hold the spot as my favorite cookies to make during the holidays.
I’m not sure why, but when I saw these cookies in Better Homes and Gardens, I wasn’t really inspired at first. I guess in my mind, thumbprint cookies are a bit boring.
Boy, was I TOTALLY wrong on that one!
The texture of these beautiful little thumbprint cookies is perfect. They are a little crispy around the edges and super soft and chewy inside. The almond flavor is sweet and the cookies are delicious and buttery.
The sweet raspberry jam inside the cookies really sends them over the top and the sugary-glaze on top is divine. As much as I love chocolate, this particular cookie will win my vote every single time. I could eat an endless supply of them!
These raspberry almond shortbread thumbprint cookies are also just so pretty, delicate and festive. They look gorgeous arranged on a plate and really make the perfect holiday cookies.
I know that I’m going to be making a huge plate of these cookies to take to my family’s annual Christmas dinner. Of course, I’ll probably end up eating half the plate of cookies myself!
I hope your family enjoys these perfect little raspberry almond shortbread cookies as much as my family did!
