Ingredients

Ingredients for Cookies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
  • cup raspberry jam

Ingredients for Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 teaspoons whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

  • Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat unsalted butter and granulated sugar on a medium/high speed for a couple of minutes, until it is smooth and creamy. Add almond extract and salt and mix again.
  • Reduce speed to low and gradually add the cornstarch and flour. Beat the mixture for a few minutes until all ingredients are well incorporated and the dough is smooth and without any clumps.
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
  • When the dough is chilled, preheat the oven to 350°F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Shape the dough into 1.5 inch balls and slightly press the top. Using a finger, press the dough in the center creating a depression. Fill the center of the cookies with raspberry jam. Put in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  • 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 on a wire rack.
  • When the cookies are cooled off, mix all the ingredients for the glaze, whisk it and drizzle over the cookies. Enjoy!
