Instructions

Instructions

  • In a bowl, beat together the butter and caster sugar until light and smooth.
  • Add the almond extract and beat again.
  • Add the all-purpose and almond flour and mix till everything combines.
  •  Add milk 1 tsp at a time as needed to form a soft but non-sticky dough. Avoid adding too much milk.
  • Cling-wrap the dough and place it in the fridge for atleast 1 hour.
  • Take out the dough from the fridge and divide it into two parts.
  • Take one half of the dough, place it between two pieces of parchment paper, and roll it out into a rectangle of even thickness of 1/8 inch.
  • Use a scalloped or flower shape cookie cutter (approx. 3 inch) to make discs and transfer the cut cookies to a parchment lined baking tray.
  • Roll out the other half of the cookie dough the same way and use the same cutter to make discs. Then, use small heart/flower/diamond shape cutters (1 inch) to cut out the centers of each disc. Transfer to a baking tray.
  •  Place the trays with the cut cookie dough in the fridge for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, pre-heat the oven to 180 degree C.
  • Remove the trays and bake the cookies at 180 degree C for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies acquire a very light brown color.
  • Transfer the baked cookies to a wire rack and let them cool.

Assemble

  •   Place the cookies with the center cut shapes to a tray and sprinkle or dust their tops generously with powdered sugar.
  • Spread approx. 1 tsp jam on the bottoms of the round cookies.
  •  Gently press a sugar-dusted cookie on top of the cookie topped with jam and press together.
