Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup raspberry jam
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries (optional, for garnish)
Optional Substitutions
- Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.
- Replace raspberry jam with strawberry or apricot jam for a flavor twist.
Instructions
Step1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step2: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
Step3: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring they’re fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Step4: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt.
Step5: Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Step6: Shape the Cookies
Take 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and roll it into a ball. Flatten slightly and make an indent in the center with your thumb.
Step7: Add Raspberry Jam
Fill each indent with 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam. Optionally, place a fresh raspberry on top for added flavor and decoration.
Step8: Bake to Perfection
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space for spreading. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Step9: Cool and Serve
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh butter and high-quality raspberry jam make all the difference.
- Chill the dough: If your kitchen is warm, chilling the dough for 15 minutes can help prevent spreading.
- Make a larger batch: These cookies freeze well, so make extra to enjoy later!
