Raspberry Shortbread Cookies

This Raspberry shortbread cookie is a take on the Scottish shortbread. They are so buttery and easy to make. Very festive for the holidays too. They can be stored in a tin in a cool place for weeks.

Ingredients;
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, room temp
1/2 TSP vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour, I use unbleached
Raspberry jam, seedless if you like

Directions;
Heat oven to 350. Mix all but the flour. Add the flour slowly. Roll into 1″ balls, indent the middle and add raspberry jam to the indent. Place them 2′ apart. Baked on parchment paper is best for about 14-16 minutes until they are slight brown on the edge.
Once cooled, you can leave them plain or drizzle melted chocolate or white chocolate over them as pictured.
