You’ve NEVER Had Gooey Butter Cookies Like This (And They’re Gluten-Free!)
Love gooey butter cookies? What if they were even BETTER?I added sweet raspberry jam and rolled them in streusel topping. Buttery, rich, and full of flavor and they’re 100% gluten-free! It might sound a little weird, but the combo totally works. I even tested freeze-dried raspberries on top (they got kinda burnt), so I left those out. This version? Perfect.Try the recipe and tell me what you think!

Gluten-Free Gooey Butter Raspberry Streusel Cookies
Adapted for gluten-free from Sugar Spun Run’s recipe for Gooey Butter Cookies
Makes eighteen 2.5” cookies
Dry ingredients
21/2 cups Cup4Cup multipurpose gluten-free flour**
1/2 cup blanched almond flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon sweet rice flour
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, room temp
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 cup raspberry jam
Streusel
3/4 cup Cup4Cup gluten-free multipurpose flour
1/4 cup blanched almond flour
2 teaspoon sweet rice flour
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons melted butter
Preheat the oven to 350F. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat together the butter and cream cheese. Add the eggs and lemon zest, beating combine well. Next, add the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Drop large spoonfuls of raspberry jam onto the dough and carefully mix into large swirls. You want parts with no jam and some with more. Chill 30 minutes. Scoop into 1 1/2 tablespoon sized balls and roll in streusel. Try to get some jam in every cookie. If you end up with lots of plain dough, just add a bit more jam and give it a swirl. Place cookies 2 inches apart on a baking tray. Press down slightly to flatten the top. Add more streusel to flattened top. Most recipes say to bake for 10 minutes, but I prefer 12-15 minutes or until the tops were puffed and the sides were just set. Let cool completely.Enjoy!
** I use the original Multipurpose blend with milk powder in it.
