Steps of Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies Recipe

#	Steps
1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.	In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together with a hand mixer or stand mixer. Mix until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
3.	Add the vanilla extract to the mixture and mix again.
4.	In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
5.	Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until just combined.
6.	Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, form the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
7.	Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to create an indentation in the center of each cookie.
8.	Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam or preserves into each indentation.
9.	Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden brown around the edges.
10.	Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

If you want to make these cookies a bit fancier, you can dust them with powdered sugar once they have cooled. You can substitute the raspberry jam with any other fruit jam or preserve you prefer. For a twist on this recipe, try using a chocolate or caramel filling instead of the raspberry jam. Enjoy these delicious Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee for the perfect sweet treat.
