Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat butter and vanilla until creamy.
- Add flour, salt, and oats; mix until well blended.
- Add cream cheese and beat until smooth.
- Chill thoroughly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, use unsalted butter and ensure it's softened at room temperature before beating. You can substitute half the flour with almond flour for a nuttier flavor, or try adding chocolate chips for a sweet twist. If you don’t have raspberry preserves, any fruit jam works well, like apricot or strawberry. Remember to chill the dough thoroughly to help maintain the cookie shape while baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful cookies with a cup of tea or coffee for an afternoon treat. They pair beautifully with a smear of extra raspberry preserves on top. For a festive touch, consider serving them alongside a cheese platter. You can also enjoy them as a sweet complement to a brunch spread with recipes like Classic Deviled Eggs or Inez'S Coconut Cake.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to three months. To enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature or warm them briefly in the oven to regain their softness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these cookies ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and chill it for up to two days before baking. Alternatively, you can freeze the shaped cookies and bake them directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
What can I substitute for cream cheese?
If you're looking for a lighter option, you can use Greek yogurt or mascarpone cheese as a substitute for cream cheese. Keep in mind that this may alter the flavor and texture slightly, so choose based on your preference.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set but still soft. They will firm up as they cool, so avoid overbaking to maintain a chewy texture.
