Shortbread Cookies with Homemade Raspberry Preserves

These cookies took a little big of time before I got to the finished product, but were 100% worth it.  I have never tasted shortbread cookies that almost melt in your mouth like these.  They are very rich and one can only eat a couple because the homemade raspberry jam makes them so sweet. I omitted the white chocolate, I just thought it didn't need it.  I will definitely be making these many times in the future!
