Make Raspberry Cookies

 Raspberry Chocolate Chip
Thumbprint Cookie Recipe

This Recipe for Raspberry Cookies, Chocolate Chip Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies, makes delicious treats with raspberry jam centers!

These simple-to-make Cookies combine the rich taste of raspberries with chocolate to create a truly delectable treat!

I used my homemade raspberry jam for the centers (you can use any type and flavour of jam for these scrumptious cookies). 

These cookies would be a great Christmas holiday baking choice!

They are referred to as "thumbprint" cookies because a thumb can be used to indent the cookie dough and insert the jam!

Ingredients

1 cup butter
1 egg
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/4 cups al-purpose flour
1 tsp. almond extract
1 pkg. chocolate chips (approx. 6 oz.)
raspberry jam
2 tsps. water
2 tsps. butter

Directions

In a mixing bowl, cream butter with sugar.

Add the egg and the almond extract to the above mixture, and continue to mix.

Blend in the flour, and 1 cup of chocolate chips.

Roll the dough into 1 inch balls, and place on a cookie baking sheet. 

Make an indentation in the center of each cookie.

Bake the cookies at 350° for 15 to 18 minutes, or until cookies begin to get golden brown on the bottom.

Remove cookies from the oven and spoon raspberry jam into the indents.

In a small bowl, combine remaining chocolate chips, water and butter and melt over low heat, or in a microwave (on low power).

Blend chocolate until smooth.

Pour the chocolate into an "icing bag" or a small clear bag, cutting of a corner tip.

Drizzle chocolate over the cookies.

Makes approx. 24 cookies.
