Hallongrottor (Swedish Raspberry Jam Cookies)

Ingredients

• 1 and 3/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp vanilla sugar ((or extract))
• 14 tbsp butter ((room temperature))
• 1/2 cup raspberry jam

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) top and bottom heat. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

2. 2

   Add all the dry ingredients to a mixing bowl. Add the butter and knead with your hands until the dough comes together into a ball (don't over knead).

3. 3

   Roll the dough into about 25 round balls. After rolling each cookie, immediately use your thumb or the back end of a mixing spoon to make a deep indentation in each cookie.

4. 4

   Space the cookies well apart on the baking sheet, as they will spread a bit in the oven. Fill each indentation with jam.

5. 5

   Bake for 15 - 20 minutes.
