Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Substitution: Use coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Feel free to reduce for less sweetness.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Substitute with almond extract for a stronger almond essence.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Gluten-free all-purpose flour can be used.
  • 1 cup Finely Ground Almonds Use sunflower seed flour for a nut-free version.
  • 1/4 tsp Salt Omit if on a low-sodium diet.
For the Filling
  • 1/2 cup Blueberry Jam or Preserves Try raspberry or strawberry jam for a different twist.
For Dusting

  • Large mixing bowl
  • electric mixer
  • measuring cups

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and powdered sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, finely ground almonds, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
  4. Wrap the combined dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Roll the chilled dough into 1-tablespoon sized balls, creating an indentation in each ball. Fill with blueberry jam and reshape to seal.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Allow cookies to cool for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack and dusting with additional powdered sugar.

Notes

Ensure the butter and sugar are creamed thoroughly for best texture. Avoid overmixing the dough and create deep indentations for the jam filling to prevent leakage during baking.
