Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the egg yolks and vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and ground almonds. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
-
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Roll out one disc of dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch (3mm) thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
-
Spoon a small amount of raspberry jam onto the center of each cookie.
-
Roll out the second disc of dough and cut out circles of the same size. Use a smaller cookie cutter to cut out a small hole in the center of each cookie. Place the cut-out circles on top of the jam-covered cookies.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
-
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Dust the cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
