Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup (50g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1/3 cup (85g) fresh raspberries, mashed
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup softened unsalted butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Scrape down the sides occasionally.
  2. Beat in 1 large room-temperature egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth, about 1 minute.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Gradually add the dry mix to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. While the dough chills, whip 1/2 cup heavy cream in a medium bowl until it starts to thicken. Add sifted 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1/3 cup mashed fresh raspberries, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Continue whipping until soft peaks form.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Roll chilled dough into 1-inch balls and place about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Create an indentation in the center of each ball using your thumb or the back of a teaspoon.
  8. Spoon or pipe about 1 teaspoon of the raspberry cream filling into each indentation.
  9. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until edges are set but centers remain soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use fresh raspberries for best flavor and color. Chill dough to prevent spreading. Whip cream filling to soft peaks for proper consistency. If filling is too runny, chill before filling cookies. Avoid opening oven door during baking to prevent deflation.
