Ingredients
  

Cookies
  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup raspberry jam seedless or regular
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar for rolling

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, cream butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes). Add vanilla and almond extracts.
  3. Slowly mix in flour and salt until a soft dough forms. Chill for 15–20 minutes if sticky.
  4. Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough, flatten, and place 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam in center. Fold and seal dough around jam; roll into a ball.
  5. Place cookies 2 inches apart on sheet. Bake for 12–14 minutes until bottoms are lightly golden.
  6. Let cool slightly. Roll warm cookies in powdered sugar, cool completely, then roll again.

These cookies are perfect for holidays and special occasions. The raspberry jam can be swapped with your favorite preserve for a different flavor twist.
