Soft & buttery, vanilla & almond-infused thumbprint cookies rolled in slivered almonds, filled with raspberry preserves, and drizzled with melted white chocolate! These White Chocolate Raspberry Almond Thumbprint Cookies are irresistible!
One of my most favorite trios: white chocolate, raspberry, and almond. These three are a dream team! I first fell in love with this remarkable trifecta when I discovered the recipe for these Raspberry White Chocolate Almond Bars. I’ve made those for YEARS now, and I always get asked for the recipe. Those bars are one of my go-tos for parties and get-togethers.
These White Chocolate Raspberry Almond Thumbprint Cookies are inspired by those bars! I crammed all that stuff into these thumbprints. You guys always seem to like thumbprint cookies, so I aim to deliver.
I love a thumbprint cookie because you can cram a lot of flavors into them. That’s part of the beauty of thumbprints. The cookie is one component, then what you roll them in, then the filling, then however you garnish – whether it’s a sprinkling and/or drizzling of something on top. There’s a lot of directions to go.
These cookies are soft, but sturdy enough to hold a lot of raspberry jam in the center! They’re buttery and chewy, and nicely loaded up with vanilla and almond extracts. Rolled in minced almonds, and topped with a drizzle of white chocolate!
Many thumbprint cookie recipes, especially these White Chocolate Raspberry Almond Thumbprint Cookies, remind of a bakery sugar cookie – dense, but still soft and chewy. With a lot more going on than just a simple sugar cookie though.
Bonus: they’re super pretty! Look how pretty they are. These are very fitting for Mother’s Day brunch, or at a bridal shower, or anywhere at all really. They’re guaranteed to disappear fast.
