Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanila
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 2 1/3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup plum jam
  • powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, and set aside.
  • In a stand mixer cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Add the egg, vanilla, and almond extract, mixing until well combined.
  • Then add the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt, mixing until you have a soft, slightly gritty dough.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Use Linzer cookie cutters to cut out an equal number of whole cookies and cookies with a center cut-out.
  • Arrange the cookies on the prepared cookie sheet and bake at 350°F for 7-9 minutes, until the cookies puff up and lose their glossy appearance.
  • Let the cookies cool completely. Spread jam onto the bottom of each whole cookie. Set aside.
  • Place the cookies with the cut-out centers on a cookie sheet, dust with powdered sugar, then sandwich the jam-filled whole cookies with the powdered sugar–dusted cookies on top.
