Equipment

Ingredients

1 ¼ cup All Purpose Flour
1 stick Unsalted Butter Softened
5 ounces Cream Cheese Softened
⅔ cup Sugar
⅓ cup Raspberry Preserves

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set that aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the cream cheese, butter, and ⅔ cup sugar and cream on medium speed until light and fluffy.
Add the flour to the large mixing bowl and mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients low speed until a dough forms.
With a cookie scoop, scoop out dough balls and roll them. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Press your thumb into the small balls of dough to form an indentation. The cookies will spread a little bit when baking, so leave a little room in between the cookies.
Add a teaspoon of jam to each indentation. You can add the jam to a small Ziploc bag or you can use a teaspoon to add it.
Bake for 8-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown. Place cookies on a cooling rack before serving.

Notes

For best results, let the cookies cool completely before serving them. The jam will be very hot as soon as it comes out of the oven and the cookies harden as they cool.
You can add the indent to the cookies with before or after baking. I like using my thumb to make the imprint beforehand, but if you make an indent after they are baked, use a small teaspoon to get the indentation.
Don't have a stand mixer? No worries! Use an electric mixer or a hand mixer and a large bowl.
A small ice cream scoop is very helpful to get even cookies. If you don't have a small ice cream scoop, use a tablespoon and roll the dough balls in your hands.
