Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries or raspberry jam
Crumble Topping:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons cold butter
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring even surface coverage.
- Cream softened butter and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer at medium speed.
- Incorporate egg and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly until mixture becomes smooth and uniform.
- Gradually add flour and salt, mixing gently until ingredients are just combined without overmixing.
- Delicately fold mashed raspberries or swirl raspberry jam through the dough, creating subtle marbled fruit streaks.
- Prepare crumble topping by combining flour, brown sugar, and oats in a separate bowl, then cut in cold butter using a fork or pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse, irregular crumbs.
- Using a tablespoon, drop cookie dough onto prepared baking sheet, gently flattening each portion and generously sprinkling crumble topping across the surface.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until cookie edges turn a delicate golden hue, watching carefully to prevent over-browning.
- Remove from oven and let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes to stabilize, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to complete the cooling process.
Notes
- Ensure butter is at room temperature for smooth creaming and optimal cookie texture.
- Mash fresh raspberries gently to maintain fruit chunks and prevent watery dough.
- Cold butter works best for creating a crispy, textured crumble topping that doesn’t melt immediately.
- Use gluten-free flour blend for a celiac-friendly version without compromising the cookie’s delicate structure.
