Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for rolling
  • 1/4 cup raspberry jam or seedless raspberry preserves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/4 cups of the granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla and almond extracts.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Place the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar into a shallow dish. Place the 1/4 cup of powdered sugar into another shallow dish.
  7. Scoop the dough into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each). Roll each ball first in the granulated sugar, then lightly dust it with the powdered sugar.
  8. Place the sugared dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Using the back of a small spoon or your thumb, gently press a small indentation into the center of each dough ball.
  10. Fill the indentation with about 1/4 teaspoon of raspberry jam.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes. The edges will look set, but the centers should still be soft.
  12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the best crinkle effect, ensure the powdered sugar coating is generous before baking.
  • You can warm the raspberry jam slightly to make it easier to spoon into the dough indentations.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes if your kitchen is warm; this helps the cookies hold their shape.
