Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add vanilla and almond extracts to the creamed mixture, beating just until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, ground almonds, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, rolling them into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the bottoms are light golden but the tops remain pale.

  8. Fill each indentation with raspberry jam.
  9. Roll each cookie in powdered sugar and allow to cool completely before serving.
