Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam for filling

Equipment

  • Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Wire cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until pale, fluffy, and smooth. Mix in almond extract.
  3. Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the butter mixture and mix on low speed until the dough comes together, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Roll portions of dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. Make a deep indentation in each ball using your thumb or a small spoon.
  5. Spoon about half a teaspoon of raspberry jam into each indentation without overfilling.
  6. Bake the cookies for 15 to 18 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the wire rack (20 to 30 minutes) before enjoying. Optionally dust with powdered sugar.
