Raspberry Apricot Shortbread Cookies: Sweet and Tart!
Delicious raspberry apricot shortbread cookies that are sweet and tart, filled with a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth dough. These are super easy to make with only a few ingredients and they always disappear quickly! The key to the perfect shortbread cookie is in the dough. It should be rich and buttery, but not too dense. The cookies should be firm but is still melt in your mouth. I like to add a little bit of almond extract to my dough for an extra depth of flavor, but you can omit it if you prefer. These particular cookies are filled with a delicious raspberry apricot jam, but you can use any flavor of jam that you like. I hope you enjoy these cookies as much as we do!
