INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 🌾 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • 🧂 ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 🌿 ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🍚 ¾ cup white sugar
    • 🧈 ½ cup butter, at room temperature
    • 🥚 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract

  • Filling

    • 🍓 ¼ cup seedless raspberry jam

  • Topping

    • 🍚 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, or as needed

STEPS

1

Mix flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a bowl using a whisk.

2

Beat white sugar and butter together with an electric mixer on high in a bowl until light and fluffy; add egg and almond extract. Beat until well blended.

3

Gradually beat flour mixture into sugar-butter mixture until dough is soft. Divide dough into 2 equal balls and wrap each portion in plastic wrap. Chill dough in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

4

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

5

Roll 1 dough ball into a 1/8-inch thick rectangle on a lightly floured surface; cut into 32 cookies using a square, star, or circular cookie cutter. Repeat with the second dough ball. Cut out the center of 32 cookies using a 1-inch cutter. Arrange all 64 cookies on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart.

6

Bake cookies in the preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Cool on pans for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

7

Spread about 1/2 teaspoon raspberry jam into the center of each whole cookie. Sprinkle the cut-out cookies with confectioners' sugar; place 1 cut-out cookie on each raspberry jam-topped cookie.
