Recipe Discussion
Let’s discuss how to make this recipe, as well as the ingredients that are needed. Please take note that below you will find discussion, expert tips, and answers to frequently asked questions about this recipe to help you recreate it in your kitchen. If you *just* want the recipe itself, scroll down. The full printable recipe itself, with exact measurements and instructions, is found at the bottom of this page.
- Butter – Use unsalted butter for this recipe, but if you only have salted butter, you can omit the salt from the recipe if desired.
- Flour – All purpose flour is recommended for this recipe.
- Seedless Raspberry Jam – Seedless raspberry jam is a preference thing but use whatever you prefer. Raspberry is just the flavor Costco uses but feel free to use whatever fruit preserves you like.
- Almond Extract – This is optional and doesn’t have to be used, however it really elevates the flavor when added. If you don’t have or don’t want to use almond extract, you could double the vanilla extract in the recipe.
- Kosher Salt – The flakiness of kosher salt is great for this recipe, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand.
How To Make Raspberry Crumble Cookies
- To make these copycat Costco Raspberry Crumble Cookies, start by preheating your oven to 350°. In a large bowl, add the butter, both sugars, vanilla extract and almond extract and beat this mixture together with a hand or stand mixer for about 1-2 minutes. You can mix the dough by hand, it just may be a little difficult. Add in the flour and continue to combine. This mixture will be crumbly, that is fine, you don’t want to over mix the dough. You’ll know it’s combined when you can squeeze some in your hand and it sticks together. To keep it simple, the mixture makes both the base/crust and the topping.
- Using a jumbo muffin tin, spray or grease the wells and sprinkle some flour to the bottoms and sides. Then, to each muffin well, scoop about ¼ of the mixture to the bottoms.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of the cups and a little bit up the sides to form a small bowl shape. You can use the bottom of a glass or a spice jar to do this. You want to press it in, but don’t over compact it or it will be hard.
- Add about a ½ to a 1 tablespoon of the raspberry preserves to the middle of each tartlet.
- After adding the raspberry jam, sprinkle a large teaspoon of the crumble mixture on top.
- Place these in the oven and allow them to bake anywhere from 18 to 22 minutes, or until the tops turn a golden brown color. Take them out of the oven and allow them to sit in their pans until they are completely cool. You may need to take a butter knife to the side to help you get them out.
Recipe Tips and Advice
Storage – You can store these raspberry crumble cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for about a week or store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. If you freeze them, seperate each tartlet with some wax paper and store in a freezer bag.
Equipment – You’ll need a jumbo size muffin tin, a hand or stand mixer, baking spray or baking grease and a mixing bowl. If you choose to use baking spray, just know that the baking sprays with flour in them tend to make these cookies brown faster. If you don’t have a jumbo muffin tin you can also use a regular one, just follow these steps instead:
- Prepare the tin as normal and the dough as normal.
- Use two tablespoons of dough mixture, instead of a ¼ cup, and press it into the bottom of the tins as normal.
- Spoon 2 teaspoons of jam into the center of the wells and evenly seperate the remaining dough to sprinkle on the top.
Don’t Let The Cookie Crumble
Make sure the raspberry cookies cool completely before taking them out of the tins or else they will crumble. You can even make them the night before and let them sit overnight to ensure they set properly.
Recipe FAQs
They are a pastry that resembles both a tartlet and a filled cookie! However, the biggest thing to remember is that they are delicious.
Yes, if you use non-dairy butter these could technically be considered vegan. When it comes to baking with different ingredients however I would always recommend testing before making a full batch.
Yes. However, depending on the consistency of the jam it may make your cookies turn out runny. So again, do a test batch if you want to try it out.

- Sprinkle each cookie with 1 heaping tablespoon of the remaining topping/crust mixture.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes or until lightly browned.

I made these last weekend for a family Christmas party – wish I had doubled the recipe as they were so good. I used regular cupcake pans which were a perfect size. Dr orated tips Ruth Royal icing Christmas trees . I’ll definitely make more this holiday season. Thank you for a great recipe

I doubled your recipe for a greater yield. Dough was perfect (moist) for making cookies. I used the Wilton “Muffin Top” pan (12 wells about 3″ diameter and 1/2″ deep). Measured 35-37 g per cookie, rolled in my hand then flattened into a “hockey-puck” disc for each well. Next, I used the bottom of a 1/4″ measuring cup to make a depression in each cookie which held a 1-2 tsp of jam for each cookie. The dough was a little too wet to get good ‘crumbles’, so I set aside about 3/4 C of dough and added an additional 2 TBS of all-purpose flour. By mixing in the flour well, it allowed excellent crumble texture that I could then add with a small spoon to the top of each cookie over the jam. Baked at 350 degrees for about 14 minutes on a middle rack. Cooled for 5-7 minutes in my pan before twisting out and cooling completely in a wire rack. Yield was about 28 cookies of 3″ diameter. One personal preference: I thought that 2 tsp of almond extract (in the double recipe) over-powered the shortcake / jam cookie. Next time, I’d probably use only 1 tsp of almond extract (or 1/2 tsp if you’re using the recipe as written) and add some additional vanilla extract as you put in your notes. I like almond for these shortbread-type cookies, but it was a bit too much almond flavor with the 1 tsp. as written in the recipe. Otherwise, delicious cookies and will definitely make again. They are a bit time consuming to make, so be patient on this one!
Joanne says
I made these for Thanksgiving and they were a hit! My daughter even took some home, we were fighting over them! Lol Thank you for sharing this recipe. I will be making them again for sure.
Nancy says
Can you use a mini muffin pan too
Mary says
Would a Whoopie pie pan work for these? The bottoms of my jumbo muffin pans aren’t much bigger than a standard sized muffin tin, they’re just taller.
Betsy Parson says
Can you use a regular size muffin tin? If so, what adjustments would you need to make?
Christi Johnstone says
From the post above…
If you don’t have a jumbo muffin tin you can also use a regular one, just follow these steps instead:
Prepare the tin as normal and the dough as normal.
Use two tablespoons of dough mixture, instead of a ¼ cup, and press it into the bottom of the tins as normal.
Spoon 2 teaspoons of jam into the center of the wells and evenly separate the remaining dough to sprinkle on the top.

I tried this recipe and must say, so easy and delicious. I used a medium size muffin pan and made 24.

Sandra says
Love your recipes so much ,but could you clarify? It says 1/2 to 1 tablespoon jam in the large tarts and 2 tablespoons jam in the small version? I read an earlier recipe you wrote that says 1 tablespoon in the large and 2 teaspoons in the small. Is that the correct one?
Lindsey Abendroth says
So yummy! Forgot to add in the powdered sugar to the dough- we dusted the tops with it instead. They remind me of mini pies. Thank you for the recipe!
