Classic almond-based sandwich cookies filled with raspberry jam and dusted with powdered sugar, perfect for holiday cookie tins.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  8. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes. For sandwich cookies, cut out an equal number of solid shapes and shapes with a smaller cutout in the center (like a star or circle).
  9. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once cooled, spread raspberry jam on the flat side of a solid cookie and top with a cookie with a cutout.
  12. Dust the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar.

Notes

  • For best results, chill the dough thoroughly. This makes it easier to handle and prevents the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
  • You can make the dough a day or two in advance and keep it refrigerated.
  • These cookies can be assembled a day or two before serving and stored in an airtight container.
