Description

Tasty Swedish hallongrottor cookies, or "raspberry caves," are made with simple ingredients and low effort — filled with raspberry jam and baked.

Ingredients

1 cup butter
2/3 cup white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
16 teaspoons raspberry jam, divided

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 16-cup muffin tin with muffin liners.
2 Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Add flour, vanilla sugar, and baking powder; beat to combine.
3 Divide dough in half and divide each half into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Place a ball of dough into each prepared muffin cup; make a small indentation in the center of each dough ball with a flour-coated thumb. Fill each indentation with a teaspoon of raspberry jam.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown, about 20 minutes.
