Ingredients: 

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 

• ½ cup granulated sugar 

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 

• ½ teaspoon almond extract 

• 2 cups all-purpose flour 

• 1 cup almond flour 

• ¼ teaspoon salt 

• ½ cup raspberry jam  

• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions: 

• Prepare the Dough: 

• In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until creamy and smooth. 

• Add the vanilla extract and almond extract, mixing well to combine. 

• Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms. 

• Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. 

• Shape and Fill the Cookies: 

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

• Take a tablespoon of chilled dough and flatten it into a small circle in your palm. 

• Place about ½ teaspoon of raspberry jam in the center of the dough circle. 

• Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the jam and roll it into a ball, ensuring the jam is fully enclosed. 

• Place the filled dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. 

• Bake the Cookies: 

• Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. 

• Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. 

• Dust with Powdered Sugar: 

• Once the cookies have cooled, generously dust them with powdered sugar to give a snowy appearance. 

Tips: 

• Chilling the dough helps the cookies maintain their shape and prevents excessive spreading during baking. 

• Ensure the raspberry jam is thick to prevent it from leaking out during baking. 

• Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
