Every bite of these Raspberry Lemon Butter Cookies melts in your mouth. In fact, just thinking about these cookies makes me want to go to the kitchen right now and start baking them! Here is how to make them –

The first step to making these delicious cookies is to make the dough. This is a lovely, simple dough with just three ingredients: butter, sugar, and flour. To make it lemony, add the zest of one lemon.

Place small balls of dough onto a lined cookie sheet or stoneware. I use a small cookie scoop to get my cookies a uniform size.

Once your cookie dough is placed on your stoneware, it’s time to form the indentation to hold the lovely raspberry jam. To do this, use the back of a 1/4 tsp. measuring spoon and push down into the center of each ball of dough.

Now, use that same teaspoon to measure out raspberry jam to put inside the indentations.

Once all the jam is in, it is time to bake! Just throw this in the oven for 9-11 minutes. (It will take a little longer on stoneware. You want the cookies to be barely set when you take them out of the oven).

These gorgeous cookies are perfect for baby showers, weddings, or just sharing with friends. And now that you know how easy they are to make, what are you waiting for?!
