- Create an indentation in the center of each ball and spoon in raspberry jam.
- Crumble leftover dough over the filled cookies.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden and tops are set. Watch closely to prevent overbaking.
- Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
Make sure to use softened butter and avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender. Cool cookies completely for best texture and flavor.
