Alright bakers, if you are looking for a refreshing cookie that is light, buttery, and pops with flavor, than these Raspberry Jam Thumbprint cookies are it!

These cookies pack an amazing flavor combination with the saffron, lemon, and cardamom! Although I added saffron to the recipe, the cardamom is still the main flavor (I just love how the saffron compliments the other spices). These cookies are a great way to end any meal or dinner party, so cozy up with a nice fire and enjoy this amazing light and airy treat.

1/2 cup + 3 Tbsp. King Arthur organic flour (1-3/4 cup)

1/2 cup + 3 Tbsp. whole wheat flour

1/4 tsp. Vitacost Himalayan Fine Pink Salt

1/2 tsp. ground cardamom

1/4 tsp. saffron

2 Tbsp. lemon juice

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
  2. In your Kitchen-aid stand mixer, combine the butter  and sugar until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. In a medium glass bowl, combine sifted flour with cardamom, lemon juice, and salt.
  4. Add mixture to the butter and sugar slowly until dough has formed.
  5. On a baking sheet, spray with oil or use baking mat so cooking don’t stick. Using a cookie scooper, dispense cookie from scooper or roll up the dough into 1″ rounds and flatten surface into a disc shape.

Chef’s tip: Chill your butter and if you do not want to use a half and half mixture for the flour, you can use 1-3/4 cups of wheat flour.
