In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy.

Fill each indentation with a dollop of raspberry jam, ensuring not to overfill.

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 14-18 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and the cookies are set.

Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

Optionally, spoon additional raspberry jam into the cookies for an extra burst of flavor.
