To make these Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam

This recipe makes about 24 cookies.
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg yolks and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Once the cookies are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and tangy. The soft and buttery texture of the cookie pairs perfectly with the sweet and slightly tart raspberry jam filling. These cookies are sure to be a hit at any gathering or event.
