Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter softened
  • 0.5 cup Powdered Sugar plus more for coating
  • 1 teaspoon Almond Extract
  • 2.25 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 cup Raspberry Jam

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the almond extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use your thumb or a small spoon to make an indentation in the center of each ball.
  • Fill each indentation with about 0.25 teaspoon of raspberry jam.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, generously roll the cookies in powdered sugar.

Notes

For a nuttier flavor, add 0.5 cup of finely chopped almonds to the dough. Store in an airtight container.
