These delicious shortbread German Terrassen Kekse Christmas cookies with raspberry jam are the perfect holiday treat. The buttery shortbread melts in your mouth, and the tangy raspberry jam adds a flavor boost. On any cookie platter, the 'window' design makes them look intricate and inviting.

Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1/2 cup powdered sugar. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup raspberry jam.

Instructions: Turn on the oven and heat it up to 325F 160C. Melt the butter and mix it with the powdered sugar in a bowl until the mixture is smooth. Mix the vanilla extract and salt in well after adding them. Slowly add the all-purpose flour and mix it in until the dough comes together. Take the dough and roll it into a ball. Cover it with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes. To make the dough about 1/4 inch 0.6 cm thick, roll it out on a lightly floured surface after letting it cool. Cut out the shapes you want with cookie cutters and put them on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Cut a "window" in the middle of half of the cookies with a smaller cookie cutter or a knife. After the oven is hot, bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way down. Put a teaspoon of raspberry jam on the solid cookies and then put the "window" cookies on top to make a sandwich. For an extra holiday look, sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the cookies. These German Terrassen Kekse Christmas cookies are delicious. Serve them and enjoy them!
