Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 cups cold butter
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
- Confectioners' sugar
Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt; cut in butter
until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water and extracts
until mixture forms a ball.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-in. thickness.
Cut with floured 2-1/2-in. cookie cutters. From the center of half
the cookies, cut out a 1-1/2 in. shape. Place 1 in. apart on
parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
Bake at 325° for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly
browned. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool
completely.
Spread 1/2 teaspoon jam over the bottoms of the solid cookies.
Sprinkle cutout cookies with confectioners' sugar; place over
cookies with jam.
