Cook Time30 Minutes
Ingredients
1 cup butter, room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups Bob’s Red Mill Organic Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour
2/3 cup Bob’s Red Mill Almond Flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 jar raspberry preserves
Powdered sugar for dusting
Directions
- Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip butter until light and fluffy. Add sugar and cream, mix 3–4 minutes, until sugar is incorporated and has a smooth texture. Add egg and both extracts, and mix until combined.
- In a small bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. Slowly add to the mixing bowl. Turn mixer to medium-high, scrape down sides and beat until dough forms.
- Divide dough into two flat disks, wrap in plastic and chill for at least 3 hours. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk at a time to 1⁄8-inch thickness. Cut with cookie cutter of choice. Using a tiny cookie cutter, cut a small window in half of the cookies to create the tops.
- Transfer all cookies to baking sheet and chill an additional 20 minutes. Heat oven to 350°F and bake 10–12 minutes, until the edges are slightly golden. Cool for 2 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
- Add 1 teaspoon preserves to the bottom halves, then dust the tops with powdered sugar and press into the preserves to create sandwich cookies.
