Units Scale

Cookies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds

Optional for Dusting:

  • Powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the almond extract.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture until a soft dough forms.
  4. Shape and Fill: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and place on the baking sheet. Make an indentation in the center of each ball and fill with raspberry jam. Sprinkle sliced almonds over the tops.
  5. Bake: Bake for 12–14 minutes until edges are just beginning to turn golden.
  6. Cool and Serve: Cool the cookies on a wire rack and dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute other jams such as apricot or strawberry.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for more defined cookies.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months.
