  • ½ cup Almonds (blanched) finely ground
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 pinch Salt

Equipment

Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter and powdered sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  2. Whisk together all-purpose flour, ground blanched almonds, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low until just combined.
Cookie Shaping
  1. Roll small portions of the dough into 1-inch balls and make a deep indentation in the center of each.
  2. Fill each indentation with raspberry filling and seal the filling inside by pinching the dough.
Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place cookie balls about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
  3. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even cooking.
Cooling and Coating
  1. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before rolling in powdered sugar.
  2. For a thicker coating, allow cookies to cool completely before rolling again in powdered sugar.
