# Ingredients:

→ Cookie Base and Topping

01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1/3 cup powdered sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 1 teaspoon almond extract
06 - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
07 - 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
08 - 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a jumbo muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or grease and flour each well.
02 - In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract for 1-2 minutes until combined. Add the flour and salt, mixing just until crumbly.
03 - Press about 1/4 cup of the crumble mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of each muffin well to form a base and center well for the jam filling.
04 - Spoon 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of seedless raspberry jam into the center of each cookie base, ensuring not to overfill.
05 - Sprinkle each cookie with a heaping tablespoon of the remaining crumble mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until lightly browned.
06 - Allow the cookies to cool completely in the tin before removing. Gently run a knife around the edges if necessary.

# Notes:

01 - Use room-temperature butter for best mixing results.
02 - Do not overmix the dough to maintain a tender texture.
03 - Choose a high-quality seedless raspberry jam for optimal flavor.
04 - Completely cool cookies before removing them from the muffin tin.
