Ingredients 

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup ground almonds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup raspberry jam
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, ground almonds, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
