Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings: 30 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1 cup almond flour, spooned and leveled
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temp
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • ½ cup raspberry and/or apricot jam

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours and salt.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter, sugar, vanilla, and almond extract until fluffy. Gradually add the flour and mix until combined.
  4. Scoop rounded tablespoons of the dough, roll into balls, and place on the prepared baking sheets. Gently press down to form disks and use your thumb, or the back of a 1 teaspoon measuring spoon, to make an indentation in the middle of the cookies. Spoon ½ teaspoon of jam onto each cookie.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly browned. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
