How long do Shortbread Cookies with Jam last?

At room temperature in an airtight container, they last up to 4 days. You can freeze them unglazed for up to 3 months.

Can I use a different jam?

Yes. Use any thick jam or preserve. Apricot, strawberry, and raspberry work best. Choose jams that are not too runny.

Use a small amount of jam. Make a deep thumbprint but avoid overfilling. Chill the dough if it becomes too soft before baking.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms.
Roll the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Use your thumb to make an indentation in the center of each ball.
Fill each indentation with raspberry jam.
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow to cool completely.
For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with enough milk to achieve a drizzle consistency, then drizzle over the cooled cookies.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Freeze unglazed cookies for longer storage.
