Christmas Raspberry Shortbread with White Chocolate Drizzle


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened (or vegan butter)
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free 1:1 blend)
• ¼ tsp salt
• ⅓ cup seedless raspberry jam (plus extra for spreading)
• ½ cup white chocolate chips (or dairy-free)
• ½ tsp coconut oil or shortening
• Red & green sprinkles (optional, for holiday flair)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
  3. Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Divide dough in half. Roll each into a log, wrap in plastic, and chill 30 minutes (or freeze 15 mins).
  5. Slice logs into ¼-inch rounds. Place on trays and press a small dimple into the center of each.
  6. Fill each dimple with a tiny spoonful of raspberry jam.
  7. Bake 12–15 minutes, until edges are pale golden. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Make the drizzle: Melt white chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
  9. Sprinkle with red & green sprinkles if desired. Let set before serving.

Perfect for:
• Holiday cookie exchanges
• DIY gift boxes
• Festive dessert trays

💡 Make ahead: Store in an airtight container at room temp up to 2 weeks. Layer with parchment to prevent sticking.
