Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 electric mixer or whisk
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 parchment paper optional
  • 1 cookie scoop or tablespoon
  • 1 sifter

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup raspberry jam
  • ½ cup sliced almonds, for sprinkling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, if using.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of powdered sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer.
  • Beat in the vanilla extract, mixing well to combine.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Scoop a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place a small teaspoon of raspberry jam in the center, then fold the dough over to seal the jam inside. Shape it into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Once all cookies are formed, sprinkle the tops with sliced almonds.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  • Once cooled, dust with additional powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

If you prefer a stronger almond flavor, you can add a teaspoon of almond extract to the dough.
For an extra festive touch, consider adding red and green sprinkles on top along with the sliced almonds.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
