Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup raspberry jam
• 0.5 cup chopped hazelnuts
• 0.5 cup white chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine.

Step 4

Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing just until the dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Using your thumb or the back of a small spoon, press a deep indentation into the center of each dough ball.

Step 7

Fill each indentation with a small amount of raspberry jam (about 1/2 teaspoon per cookie).

Step 8

Sprinkle the tops with chopped hazelnuts, gently pressing them into the dough to adhere.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.

Step 10

While the cookies cool on the baking sheet, melt white chocolate chips and heavy cream together in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth.

Step 11

Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cooled cookies using a fork or a piping bag for neat drizzles.

Step 12

Allow the white chocolate to set completely (about 15 minutes) before serving.
