Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (left out at room temperature for 10 minutes)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1-2 cups raspberry or strawberry jam
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions 

  • Cream butter, sugar, and salt until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mix thoroughly.
  • Reduce mixer to low, add flour until just combined. Roll out dough to 1/8 inch thickness between parchment sheets.
  • Chill dough for 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut cookies with desired shapes, then freeze for 3-5 minutes.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are light. Cool on wire rack. Dust heart cookies with powdered sugar, spread jam on plain cookies, then assemble.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes
