Ingredients
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
½ teaspoon baking soda
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
¾ cup white sugar
-
½ cup butter at room temperature
-
1 large egg
-
1 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract
-
¼ cup seedless raspberry jam
-
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, or as needed
Directions
-
Mix flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a bowl using a whisk.
-
Beat white sugar and butter together with an electric mixer on high in a bowl until light and fluffy; add egg and almond extract. Beat until well blended.
-
Gradually beat flour mixture into sugar-butter mixture until dough is soft. Divide dough into 2 equal balls and wrap each portion in plastic wrap. Chill dough in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Roll 1 dough ball into a 1/8-inch thick rectangle on a lightly floured surface; cut into 32 cookies using a square, star, or circular cookie cutter. Repeat with the second dough ball. Cut out the center of 32 cookies using a 1-inch square cookie cutter. Arrange all 64 cookies on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart.
-
Bake cookies in the preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Cool on pans for 5 minutes before transferring cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
-
Spread about 1/2 teaspoon raspberry jam into the center of each whole cookie. Sprinkle the cut-out cookies with confectioners' sugar; place 1 cut-out cookie atop each raspberry jam-topped cookie.
Cook’s Note
You can use ¼ cup egg substitute instead of the egg, if you prefer.
