Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ cup softened butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp sugar

Cookie Filling

  • ¼ cup raspberry jam or other flavor per preference

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mixing Dough

Forming Cookies

  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
