Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ cup powdered sugar, plus extra for dusting
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup finely ground almonds
- ½ cup raspberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and ½ cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly combined.
- Gradually add the flour and ground almonds, mixing until just combined.
- Scoop tablespoon-size portions and flatten into discs, adding a small teaspoon of raspberry jam in the center.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the jam to form a ball and place on the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden at the bottom but pale on top.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and dust with powdered sugar.
Notes
For added flavor, experiment with different fruit jams or chill the dough if too soft.
