Raspberry Shortbread Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, cream together butter and white sugar until smooth. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. Mix in flour until dough comes together. Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Make a small hole in the center of each ball, using your thumb and finger, and fill the hole with preserves.
• Bake for 14 to 18 minutes in preheated oven, or until lightly browned. Let cool 1 minute on the cookie sheet.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar, 3/4 teaspoon almond extract, and milk until smooth. Drizzle lightly over warm cookies.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, stir 1 cup butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until well blended. Stir in flour and salt until well mixed. If necessary, knead with hands to form a soft dough.
• On floured surface, roll dough 1/4 inch thick. Cut with 1 3/4-inch round or scalloped cookie cutter. Place 1/2 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Using 3/4- to 1-inch round or scalloped cookie cutters, cut out and set aside centers of half of the cookies.
• Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat marshmallow creme and 1/3 cup butter with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Beat in 2/3 cup powdered sugar on low speed until fluffy and creamy.
• Spread about 1 1/2 teaspoons frosting on bottom of each whole cookie; top with 1/2 teaspoon preserves. Top with remaining cookies with centers cut out, bottom sides down.

Steps:

• For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Grind the raspberries to a fine powder in a small food processor or spice grinder.
• Combine the butter, flour, raspberry powder and confectioners' sugar in a stand mixer and beat on medium-low speed until a dough forms, about 45 seconds. Remove from the bowl and shape into a disc.
• Sprinkle a sheet of parchment paper lightly with flour. Roll the dough out into an 8-inch round, 1/2-inch thick.
• Using a long knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into triangles. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space in between each.
• Bake until golden brown along the edges, about 18 minutes. Allow to cool 5 minutes on the baking sheet before moving.
• For the lemon whipped cream: Add the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar to a stand mixer and whip until it holds soft peaks. Add the lemon juice and whip to stiff peaks. Garnish with the zest.
• Serve the shortbread with whipped cream alongside or store in airtight container for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar.
• Beat in extract; gradually add flour until dough forms a ball.
• Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
• Roll into 1 inch balls.
• Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
• Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, make an indentation in the center.
• Fill with jam.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 14-18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
• Remove to wire racks to cool.
• Spoon additional into cookies if desired.
• Combine glaze ingredients and drizzle over cookies.

Steps:

• In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), cream the butter until soft and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and mix well.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the butter/egg yolk mixture and mix just until incorporated and the dough starts to come together. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and form into 2 balls. Wrap each ball in plastic wrap and freeze at least 2 hours or overnight, or as long as a month.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove 1 ball of dough from the freezer and coarsely grate the frozen dough into the bottom of a 9 by 12-inch baking pan or a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Make sure the surface is covered evenly with shreds of dough. With a spoon or spatula, spread the jam over the surface, to within 1/2-inch of the edge all the way around. Remove the remaining dough from the freezer and coarsely grate it over the entire surface. Bake until light golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. As soon as the shortbread comes out of the oven, dust with confectioners' sugar. Cool on a wire rack, then cut in the pan with a serrated knife.
