Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup raspberry jam
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions:

Prepare the Dough :
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until creamy and smooth.
2. Add the vanilla extract and almond extract, and mix well.
3. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Shape and Fill the Cookies :

5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Take a small portion of dough (about 1 tablespoon) and flatten it into a circle with your hands.
7. Place a small spoonful of raspberry jam in the center of the dough circle.
8. Gently fold the dough over the jam and roll it into a ball, ensuring the jam is fully enclosed.

Bake the Cookies :

9. Place the filled cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Finish with Powdered Sugar :

12. Once the cookies are completely cooled, dust them generously with powdered sugar to give them a snowy appearance.
