Step-by-step overview

Making Raspberry Cream SnowStar Cookies is simple and fun! You’ll start by creaming together butter and powdered sugar for a light, fluffy base. Then, mix in the dry ingredients to form a soft dough. After rolling the dough into small balls, you’ll create a little well in each cookie where the raspberry cream will go. Bake until golden, let them cool, and finish with a light dusting of powdered sugar for that extra touch!

What you’ll need

To make these delightful cookies, gather the following ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup raspberry jam
1/4 cup heavy cream
Additional powdered sugar for dusting

You can substitute the raspberry jam with your favorite fruit jam or even skip the jam altogether for a different type of filling, like chocolate ganache.
