1 teaspoon vanilla extract
(ingredient 2)
(ingredient 3)
PREPARATION STEPS
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar with a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract if using, until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until a dough forms
Divide the dough in half, wrap each half in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C)
Roll out one portion of dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness
Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes and a smaller cutter to create “windows” in the center of half the cookies
Repeat with the remaining dough.
Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool completely on wire racks.
Spread a thin layer of raspberry jam on the flat side of each solid cookie. Gently press a “window” cookie on top to create a sandwich.
Dust the tops with powdered sugar and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
