Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla until smooth.
- Gradually add both flours, stirring until just combined; the dough should be soft but not sticky.
- Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes, making sure to cut centers from half of them for that signature look.
- Place cut cookies on lined baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges.
- Once cooled, spread raspberry jam on half of the cookies and top with another cookie to form sandwiches. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
