Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Make an indentation in the center of each ball using your thumb or the back of a spoon.
6. Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam.
7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
8. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and creamy.
10. Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the raspberry filling using a spoon or a piping bag.
11. Allow the white chocolate glaze to set before serving. Enjoy!
