Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of finely ground almonds, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a separate bowl. Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the creamed butter and sugar until a dough forms, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Shape the cookie dough into tablespoon-sized balls and arrange them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  5. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes until the bottoms are lightly golden and the tops stay pale.
  6. After cooling for 5 minutes, create an indentation in each cookie and fill it with a teaspoon of raspberry jam.
  7. Cool the cookies completely on a wire rack and roll each in powdered sugar before serving.
