Preparation Details

Prep Time: 45 mins

Cook Time: 10 mins

Total Time: 2 hrs 15 mins

Servings: 12

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups unsalted butter, softened
  • ⅔ cup white sugar
  • 2 cups sifted all purpose flour
  • 1 ¾ cups ground almonds
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 5 tablespoons raspberry jam, or as needed
  • ¼ cup confectioners’ sugar for decoration, or as needed

Steps

  1. Beat butter and sugar in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in 1/2 cup flour, then ground almonds and cinnamon. Mix in remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until well combined and dough stiffens a bit.
  2. Divide dough in half and form each half into a disk. Wrap each disk tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  3. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  4. Working with one dough disk at a time, roll dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Use a 2½-inch round cookie cutter to cut as many circles from the dough as you can; you should have about 12. Arrange dough circles 1 inch apart onto a prepared baking sheet. Place the baking sheet into the refrigerator.
  5. Knead any leftover scraps into a ball and roll out again into a 1/8-inch-thick sheet. Cut out more circles; you should have about 12 more circles.
  6. Place the second batch of circles onto the second baking sheet. Use a 1/2-inch round cookie cutter to cut out the center from 1/2 of all the cookies.
  7. Bake cookies in the preheated oven until light brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes.
  8. Spread a thin coating of jam onto the bottom sides of the fully round cookies. Place a cut-out cookie on top of each one, pressing together to form a sandwich. Return to the wire rack and repeat to form 11 more cookies.
  9. Sift confectioners’ sugar over the cookies, then spoon a dab of jam into the cut-out part of each cookie.
