Bakery-Style Cookie Mastery Secrets for Perfect Raspberry Crumble Copycat Success

Cold Butter: Keep butter very cold for best crumbly texture in both dough and topping.

Deep Indents: Make indentations deep enough to hold filling without overflowing during baking.

Jam Thickness: Mix cornstarch with jam to prevent it from bubbling over or spreading too much.

Crumble Size: Aim for pea-sized crumbles - not too fine, not too large for perfect texture.

Underbake Slightly: Cookies continue cooking on hot pan, so remove when just set for soft centers.

Cooling Patience: Let cookies cool completely before storing to maintain crisp crumble and set jam.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In food processor or large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt for cookie base.

Add cold cubed butter and pulse or cut in until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing until dough just comes together.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and knead gently 2-3 times until smooth.

Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes while making crumble.

For crumble topping, combine flour, both sugars, cinnamon, and salt in bowl.

Cut in cold butter until mixture forms pea-sized clumps and crumbs.

Refrigerate crumble topping while preparing raspberry filling.

Mix raspberry jam with lemon juice and cornstarch in small bowl until smooth.

Remove cookie dough from refrigerator and roll into 1.5-inch balls.

Place dough balls on prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.

Use thumb or small spoon to create deep indentation in center of each cookie.

Brush cookies lightly with egg white wash for golden color and shine.

Fill each indentation with about 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam mixture.

Sprinkle generous amount of crumble topping over and around jam filling.

Press crumble topping gently to help it adhere to cookie surface.

Bake for 16-18 minutes until edges are lightly golden and crumble is set.

Remove from oven when cookies still look slightly underbaked in center.

Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes to set properly.

Transfer cookies carefully to wire rack to cool completely.

Jam will thicken as cookies cool, creating perfect jammy center.

Dust with powdered sugar if desired for elegant bakery-style finish.

Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Cookies can be frozen unfilled and topped after baking for best texture.
