Raspberry Linzer Cookies

Almond cookies with raspberry filling and a light dusting of sugar.
Prep Time 35 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 47 minutes
Servings: 18 sandwich cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar for dusting

Method
 

  1. Cream the butter and powdered sugar, then beat in the egg and vanilla.
  2. Mix in both flours and salt until a dough forms, then chill 30 minutes.
  3. Roll dough to 1/4 inch and cut rounds; cut a small window from half of them.
  4. Bake at 350F for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are lightly golden, then cool completely.
  5. Dust the cut-out tops with powdered sugar.
  6. Spread jam on the solid bottoms and gently sandwich with the window tops.

Notes

Use seedless jam so the filling shows off cleanly in the windows.
