Ingredients
  

1 cup almond flour

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup powdered sugar (plus extra for dusting)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 large egg

1 teaspoon almond extract

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup raspberry preserves

1/4 cup sliced almonds, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

      Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and remaining powdered sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

        Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until well incorporated.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined and a soft dough forms.

            Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This will help the cookies hold their shape while baking.

              Shape the Cookies: Once chilled, scoop a tablespoon of dough and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place about 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry preserves in the center and fold the dough over to enclose the filling. Roll into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.

                Garnish: Gently press a few sliced almonds on top of each cookie ball for decoration.

                  Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden on the bottoms. The tops should remain pale.

                    Cool and Dust: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Once completely cooled, dust the tops with additional powdered sugar.

                      Serve and Enjoy: These cookies are best enjoyed on the same day but can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
