Prep Time: 2 Hours and 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 12 Minutes
Total Time: 2 Hours and 32 Minutes
Servings: About 24 cookies

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2/3 cup finely ground almonds
  • ¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • ½ cup seedless jam
  • Confectioners’ sugar (powdered sugar)

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl combine flour, almonds, cinnamon & salt; set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter & sugar with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg & vanilla; mix well. Add flour mixture; mix only until incorporated. Divide dough into 2 pieces; press into small disks, about 1” thick. Wrap separately in plastic wrap & refrigerate 2 hours or until firm enough to roll.

  2. Preheat oven to 350°. On floured surface, roll out one disc of dough 1/8” thick (keep remaining dough chilled). Cut half of the dough using the round cutter with insert; cut an equal number of rounds using the cutter w/out the insert. Transfer to parchment paper lined baking sheet. Dough scraps can be chilled for at least 30 minutes and re-rolled.

  3. Bake 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool on cookie sheet 2 minutes; remove from sheet and cool completely. Invert bottom cookies; spread with about a teaspoon of jam. Dust the top cookies with confectioners’ sugar; gently sandwich cookies together.
