• ⅓ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup old-fashioned oats
• 2 tbsp cold butter, cubed (for crumble topping)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough
   In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla, then gradually add flour and salt until dough forms.
2. Shape the Cookies
   Roll dough into balls (about 1½ inches each) and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly and make an indent in the center of each cookie.
3. Add Filling
   Spoon a small amount of raspberry jam into each indentation.
4. Make the Crumble
   In a small bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, and cold butter. Use your fingers to mix until crumbly. Sprinkle over the cookies.
5. Bake
   Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes, until edges are golden and crumble topping is crisp. Cool on a wire rack.
