# What You Need:

→ Cookie Dough

01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 2/3 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Filling

06 - 1/2 cup raspberry jam, smooth consistency

→ Crumble Topping

07 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
08 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
09 - 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, diced

# How to Make It:

01 - Cream softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl using a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Incorporate vanilla extract. Gradually add all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until just combined.
02 - Press two-thirds of the dough evenly into a parchment-lined 8-inch square baking pan, ensuring consistent thickness across the base.
03 - Carefully spread raspberry jam over the cookie base, leaving a small border at the edges to prevent overflow during baking.
04 - Combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and cold diced butter in a bowl. Blend with a fork or pastry cutter until coarse crumbs form. Distribute crumble evenly over the jam layer, keeping topping loose and uncompressed.
05 - Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 30 to 40 minutes until the crumble topping is golden brown and edges begin to pull away from the pan.
06 - Allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. For enhanced presentation, dust with powdered sugar or serve with fresh raspberries if desired.
07 - Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze in a single layer before transferring to a freezer bag for up to 2 months.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Ensure butter for the crumble topping remains chilled until mixing to achieve a coarse crumb texture.
02 - Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend topping ingredients; avoid overmixing to prevent a dense texture.
03 - Select a raspberry jam with balanced sweetness and tartness for optimal flavor and avoid overly runny varieties.
