Raspberry White Chocolate Cookies

These Raspberry White Chocolate Cookies are buttery and sweet.

The combination of raspberry and white chocolate is one of my favorites.

I am traditionally a Thanksgiving before Christmas kind of girl.  I wait until the day after Thanksgiving to pull out my decorations and put up my tree. But when it comes to Christmas cookies, that is another story.  I pretty much experiment with Christmas cookie recipes all year and the urge has been strong the last few weeks to try out a few new recipes.  I couldn’t wait any longer!!

If you’ve been following along with the blog here for any length of time you know that I have a weakness for the white chocolate/raspberry combo.  I just can’t seem to get enough of it.  Although you could use any flavor of jam you like with these cookies my favorite will always be raspberry although I think apricot would be a good choice too.

The base for this cookie is a butter cookie that is full of chunks of white chocolate.  The cookie is soft in the middle and a little crisp around the edges.  Just the way I like it.  After they are baked (don’t overbake them!)  Top them with your favorite jam and then drizzle with some more white chocolate.  These cookies would be an easy one to make ahead for the holidays and freeze.  Top them with the jam and drizzle with chocolate after you thaw them, before serving.  Don’t freeze with the jam and white chocolate drizzle.

Not only will these be the most delicious cookies on your holiday cookie plate but they will also be one of the prettiest.
