Raspberry Almond Thumbprint cookies

By Veronika's Kitchen

Ingredients       ▢ 1 cup unsalted butter   ▢ ⅔ cup granulated sugar      ▢ ½ tsp almond extract      ▢ ¼ tsp salt      ▢ 2 ⅛ cups all-purpose flour      ▢ ⅓ cup raspberry jam

Beat 1 cup butter and ⅔ cup granulated  sugar on a medium/high speed, until it is smooth  and creamy. Add ½ tsp almond extract and mix again.

Add 2 ⅛ cups flour and ¼ tsp salt. Mix on low speed just until all ingredients are incorporated.

Shape the dough into 1 ½-inch balls. Press the dough in the center creating a depression. Fill the  center of the cookies with raspberry jam. Put in the fridge for 15-20  minutes before baking.

Bake at 350°F for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly  brown. Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes,  then remove then to a wire rack.
