Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 72 servings

  • 1 pound (2 cups) unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 ½ cups white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (Optional)

  • 1 (8 ounce) jar seedless raspberry jam

  • 3 (1.55 ounce) bars white chocolate, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening

Directions

  1. Beat butter, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl; gradually beat into butter mixture until dough is smooth. Fold in walnuts. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour.

  2. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  3. Roll dough into 72 small balls and place 2 inches apart onto baking sheets. Press centers of balls using your thumb to form small wells; fill wells with jam.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are light golden brown, about 18 minutes.

  5. Cool cookies on baking sheets for 5 minutes; transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

  6. Meanwhile, place white chocolate and shortening in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until melted; drizzle over cookies.
