Ingredients
For the Cookies
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
For the Filling
Raspberry jam (or your favorite fruit jam), as needed
Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Add vanilla and almond extracts, mixing until combined.
Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
2. Shape the Cookies
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared sheet.
Using your thumb or the back of a teaspoon, make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
3. Fill and Bake
Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
