Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup raspberry jam (high-quality)
- 1 egg yolk (room temperature)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream the unsalted butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).
- Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour and almond flour until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
- Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest; combine until smooth.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out half the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick; use heart-shaped cookie cutters for fun shapes.
- Cut smaller shapes from half of the rolled-out cookies to create tops that reveal the filling.
- Bake on parchment-lined sheets for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Once cooled, spread raspberry jam on whole cookies, top with cutout cookies, and dust with powdered sugar.
