- Can be customized with different toppings
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- ½ cup raspberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
How to Make Raspberry Topped Sugar Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, top each cookie with fresh raspberries and drizzle with raspberry sauce.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming.
- Don’t overmix the dough after adding the flour to keep the cookies tender.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of almond extract along with the vanilla.
- If using homemade raspberry sauce, allow it to cool slightly before drizzling.
Easy Variations
- Swap raspberries for strawberries or blueberries for a different fruity twist.
- Add a sprinkle of lemon zest to the cookie dough for a refreshing citrus flavor.
- Try a cream cheese frosting instead of raspberry sauce for a richer topping.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side
- A cup of hot tea or coffee
- Fresh whipped cream dolloped on top
- Additional fresh berries for garnish
