raspberry meltaway cookies

Raspberry Meltaway Cookies just melt in your mouth! Soft dough made with cornstarch and powdered sugar compliments these raspberry cookies beautifully. Perfect topped with a simple almond glaze swirled with raspberry jam.

Raspberry Meltaway Cookies

butter (softened, 2 sticks)

cornstarch

sugar

½ tsp almond extract

all-purpose flour**

Sugar

TBSP butter

TBSP milk

vanilla extract

raspberry jam

Mix together butter and cornstarch until well combined. Add in powdered sugar and extract and mix until smooth. Add flour and mix until dough comes together and flour is all incorporated. Cover and refrigerate 10-15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Scoop out about 1/2 a tablespoonful of dough. (I use a small cookie scoop!)  Roll into a ball and lay on parchment on a cookie sheet. Lay cookie dough balls out 4 across in 5 rows, fitting about 20 cookies per sheet.

Bake 9 minutes. Remove from oven and flatten the tops of each cookie by gently pressing down with the bottom of a glass. Let sit for 2 minutes before transferring parchment to a cooling rack.

Whisk vanilla glaze ingredients until smooth and desired consistency is achieved. Let cool slightly before spooning onto cookies.

Let cool about 10 minutes. Spoon glaze on top. Transfer jam to a small bag and cut the corner to pipe 4-5 small drops of jam on top of glaze on each cookie. Use a toothpick to swirl the jam and the glaze.

Let cool to set. Store in an airtight container.

Glaze

They were very tasty but the dough is so delicate that the cookies did not hold up well.  A lot  of them crumbled as we glazed them  And storing them was a challenge.  I wish they ere a little sturdier becuse I loved the flavor!

These cookies turned out amazing! Best cookies I've made of the season for sure!

I LOVE this recipe! It’s so light and melt in your mouth as the name suggests! I haven’t had any issues with them being dry as I made them as I noticed some other folks had. I just made sure my butter was WAY soft- almost melted, but not and it works amazingly every time!
I’ve also enjoyed some experimenting with the top filling. I’ve done the raspberry, and also Nutella mixes with the glaze, and a lemon topping as well. Delicious! All of them!

Yes! I used Bobs Red Mill One to One GF flour. They came out rather grainy and VERY crumbly. Next time I would add 1/4 tea more Xanthum gum to see if that would hold them together. It might be worth trying Almond flour instead. It would end up being 'heavier' in texture and you might loose the melt away effect. But I think it would bind together better. They also very very sweet with the frosting, so I just used a dollop of the raspberry jam as 'icing' instead.

I added these to my cookie baking variety I give out as Christmas gifts last year and everyone voted them as their favorite! They are now part of my annual baking list!

I made these using grass-fed unsalted butter (but added some salt to the recipe), non-gmo corn starch,  organic powdered sugar and organic blueberry preserves for my hubby's Christmas luncheon at his work.   These cookies won first place in their contest!

They are delicious, perfect! Really popular in my family!
