Description

Soft, buttery snowball cookies filled with sweet raspberry jam and rolled in powdered sugar. These Raspberry Filled Almond Snowball Cookies melt in your mouth and make the perfect holiday or any-time treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus more for coating

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup finely ground almonds

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground almonds, and salt.

  4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until a soft dough forms.

  5. Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough, roll into a ball, then create a small indentation.

  6. Fill the indentation with about 1/4 teaspoon raspberry jam.

  7. Pinch the dough closed around the jam and roll again into a smooth ball.

  8. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until lightly golden on the bottom.

  9. Allow to cool slightly on the tray, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  10. Roll each cookie in powdered sugar once cooled. For extra coverage, repeat a second time.

Notes

For the best texture, use thick, seedless raspberry jam so it stays inside the cookie while baking.

If the dough feels crumbly, warm it with your hands for a few seconds—it will soften quickly.

These cookies freeze well; freeze uncoated cookies and roll in powdered sugar after thawing.
