Raspberry Shortbread Cookies with Raspberry Filling and Vanilla Drizzle

For a different twist, you can use other fruit preserves like strawberry or apricot in place of raspberry. If you prefer a citrus flavor, add a bit of lemon zest to the shortbread dough. To make the cookies more festive, consider sprinkling some finely chopped nuts or decorative sugar over the top before baking. If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought shortbread for a quick version of this treat.
