Add IMPERIAL SUGAR to Home Screen
Ingredients
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, very soft
- 1 cup Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon raspberry extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour*
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.3-1.5 ounce bag freeze dried raspberries
- Few drops red food color in gel (optional)
- 1/2 cup Imperial Sugar Confectioners Powdered Sugar

Directions

- Mix soft butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add one egg and mix until completely mixed in. Add remaining egg, salt, and raspberry extract. Mix until fluffy.
- Sift together flour and baking powder and add in one step to above. Mix until just combined.
- Measure 1 cup of freeze-dried raspberries and crush into powder using a rolling pin. Mix into batter. Remaining raspberries can be roughly chopped and added to batter as well. Add food color if desired.
- Scoop into generous tablespoon amounts and roll into a ball. If dough is too soft to handle, place it in a refrigerator for about 30 minutes or overnight.
- Roll dough balls into powdered sugar.
- Place on parchment lined or buttered cookie sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart as cookies will spread in oven.
- Bake for approximately 9 minutes.
- Move to a wire rack to cool. Store at room temperature in airtight container for up to 3 days.
