Description

Delicious raspberry almond sandwich cookies, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup raspberry jam (seedless preferred)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Cream butter & sugar: Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and almond extract.

  2. Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk flour, almond flour, salt, and cinnamon.

  3. Mix: Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and form a soft dough. Chill 1 hour.

  4. Roll & cut: Roll dough to 1/8–1/4 inch thick. Cut out round cookies; cut a small “window” in half of them.

  5. Bake: Place cookies on a lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes. Cool completely.

  6. Fill: Spread raspberry jam on the solid cookies.

  7. Finish: Dust the windowed cookies with powdered sugar and place on top to form sandwiches.

Notes

  • For best results, chill the dough before rolling.
  • Feel free to experiment with different jam flavors!
