For a richer flavor, use European-style butter. If you don't have vanilla sugar, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Add it along with the flour. Feel free to experiment with different flavors of jam. Lingonberry jam is a traditional Swedish choice! The dough can be a little crumbly, but it should come together as you roll it. Avoid overmixing.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 16-cup muffin tin with paper liners. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. (3 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir in the vanilla sugar (or vanilla extract). (5 minutes)
04
StepDivide the dough in half, then divide each half into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball. (5 minutes)
05
StepPlace each dough ball into a prepared muffin cup. Use your thumb (lightly coated in flour to prevent sticking) to make a small indentation in the center of each ball, creating a 'cave'. (5 minutes)
06
StepFill each indentation with a teaspoon of raspberry jam. (3 minutes)
07
StepBake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden brown around the edges. (20 minutes)
08
StepLet the cookies cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)
