Buttery Raspberry Crumble Cookies

### Step 3: Fill with Raspberry Jam

Spoon about ½ teaspoon of raspberry jam into each well.

### Step 4: Add the Crumble

Take a small portion of the remaining dough, crumble it with your fingers, and sprinkle a bit over each cookie for a rustic, bakery-style finish.

### Step 5: Bake

Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the crumble topping is just beginning to brown. Let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

### Step 6: Optional Finishing Touch

Dust cooled cookies with powdered sugar for that extra cozy look (and sweetness!).
