Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg, beaten

Filling and Topping

  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt, stirring gently until evenly mixed.
  3. Cream Butter and Cream Cheese: In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to cream together the softened butter and cream cheese until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Add Sugar: Gradually add the granulated sugar to the butter and cream cheese mixture while continuing to beat until fully incorporated and fluffy.
  5. Add Vanilla: Mix in the vanilla extract evenly throughout the mixture.
  6. Combine Mixtures: Slowly add the flour mixture to the cream cheese mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined to form the dough.
  7. Shape Dough Balls: Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a ball.
  8. Prepare Baking Sheet: Place the dough balls onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Create Indentations: Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to gently press down the center of each dough ball to create a small well.
  10. Add Raspberry Jam: Spoon about 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam into the indentation of each dough ball.
  11. Brush Egg Wash: Lightly beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the edges of each dough circle with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  12. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the bites for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  13. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and let the bites cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
  14. Cool Completely: Transfer the bites to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
  15. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once cooled, dust the tops with powdered sugar using a fine sieve or sifter.
  16. Serve: Serve and enjoy these delicious raspberry cream cheese bites as a sweet treat.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Use an ungreased baking sheet to allow the bites to spread properly.
  • If raspberry jam is too thick, warm it slightly to make spooning easier.
  • These bites can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Optionally, add a few fresh raspberries on top before dusting with powdered sugar for extra freshness.
