Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup salted butter
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest or lemon extract
- ⅓ cup raspberry jam or preserves
Lemon Glaze
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon lemon extract
- 1-2 tsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the first 4 ingredients in a food processor. You need to process the dough until it comes together in a ball. This takes 2-3 minutes on high.
- Scoop with a medium cookie scoop onto the prepared cookie sheet.
- Press a well into the center of each with the rounded bottom of a measuring spoon (or your thumb).
- Divide the jam between the cookies.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes or until golden brown and the jam is thickened.
Glaze
- Mix the powdered sugar, lemon extract, and one teaspoon of milk. Add additional milk as needed.
- Drizzle over the cooled cookies.
Notes
Dough - The dough starts off looking sandy and like it won't come together. Just keep the food processor running. After 2-3 minutes, it comes together in a ball.
Food Processor - If you do not have a food processor, you may need to add some egg (either one white or one yolk), but the cookies will not be as crisp as traditional shortbread with egg added.
