Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Chill the Dough: Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Roll and Cut: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). On a floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes, and use a smaller cutter to make cutouts in half of them for the filling to show through.
- Bake: Place the cookies on a lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.
- Assemble: Spread a teaspoon of raspberry jam on the whole cookies, then top with the cutout cookies. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
