Method
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, mixing well to combine.
- Gradually incorporate the flour and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- On a floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes, ensuring to cut out a center from half of the cookies for the tops.
- Bake the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet for around 10-12 minutes, or until they are just lightly golden on the edges.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
Assembly
- Spread a teaspoon of your chosen fruit jam on the bottom of each whole cookie, then place the top cookie on it.
- Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
