5 Secrets to Making the Best Raspberry Filled Almond Snowball Cookies
These melt-in-your-mouth snowball cookies are filled with a delightful raspberry jam and have a delicate almond flavor. Perfect for holidays or any special occasion!
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the almond extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use your thumb or a small spoon to make an indentation in the center of each ball.
Fill each indentation with about 0.25 teaspoon of raspberry jam.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, generously roll the cookies in powdered sugar.
Notes
For a nuttier flavor, add 0.5 cup of finely chopped almonds to the dough. Store in an airtight container.
