Ingredients
Scale
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar, plus extra for rolling
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon red food coloring (gel food coloring works best)
2 tablespoons milk (or as needed)
Fresh raspberries, for topping
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
Add the mashed raspberries and raspberry jam (if using) to the butter mixture, and mix until well combined.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and roll them in granulated sugar. Place on a baking sheet 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with a spoon.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or top with fresh raspberries.
