Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup raspberry jam
• Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Directions

1. In a food processor, combine the flour and granulated sugar. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Add the egg mixture to the food processor and pulse until the dough comes together.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently until it becomes smooth. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Roll out the chilled dough to a thickness of approximately 1/8 inch (3 mm). Use a round cookie cutter or a drinking glass with a diameter of about 2 inches (5 cm) to cut out circles from the dough.
6. Place half of the dough circles onto the prepared baking sheet. Spoon a teaspoon of raspberry jam onto each circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. Cover each jam-topped circle with another dough circle and gently press the edges together to seal the tartlets. You can use a fork to create a decorative edge, if desired.
8. Bake the tartlets in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
9. Remove the tartlets from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
10. Once cooled, dust the tartlets with confectioners' sugar before serving.
