Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt for 30 seconds to blend evenly; set aside.
- In a stand mixer, fitted with a paddle, beat butter for 1 minute at low speed. Add both sugars and extract and beat on medium-high speed for 2 minutes or until pale and fluffy. Add the egg and mix until well incorporated.
- Add about ⅔rds of the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar mixture and blend on low speed just until dry ingredients are blended in. Fold in remaining flour mixture by hand just until evenly combined.
- Cover and chill cookie dough for 30 minutes for easier handling.
- Mix ⅛ teaspoon of cinnamon with 2 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl.
- Break lorna doone cookies into crumbles.
- Scoop the dough into balls (25 to 26 grams each) with a large cookie scoop, roll the dough balls in cinnamon-sugar so they are evenly coated. Place the dough balls onto prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 12-13 minutes until evenly golden and the edges are browned.
- While still warm on the cookie sheet, press an indent into the centers with the back of a round ½ tablespoon measure. Transfer cookies on parchment to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Spoon jam into the indents on the cooled cookies, sprinkle on some lorna doone crumbs and then top with a raspberry.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Notes
Choose any whole fruit jam you like.
Cookies can be rolled in finely chopped nuts instead of cinnamon-sugar prior to baking.
Princess extract may be difficult to find. The best substitute is a mix of vanilla and almond extract.
