Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour (use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option)
2 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup raspberry jam
1/2 cup fresh raspberries (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then add the vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Make a small indentation in the center of each cookie with your thumb or the back of a spoon, and spoon about 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam into the indentation.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Garnish with fresh raspberries, if desired, before serving.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free all-purpose flour in place of regular flour.
If you prefer a different jam, feel free to substitute raspberry jam with strawberry or apricot jam for a different flavor twist.
You can store these cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months.
