Eier Kringel (Raspberry-Filled Cookies) are a traditional European treat that is perfect for afternoon tea or as a light dessert. These buttery cookies are made with hard-boiled egg yolks, which gives them a unique texture and richness. The raspberry jam filling adds a sweet and tangy burst of flavor that complements the cookie perfectly. This recipe is easy to make and perfect for beginners. The cookies can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to a week.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
