Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg yolk large size
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon orange zest finely grated
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ t baking powder
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup jam a generous teaspoon per cookie
- Optional powdered sugar for decoration
Instructions
- Optionally, toast your almond meal or flour. Place in a frying pan over medium heat and stir until golden and fragrant, 5-10 minutes.
- Using an electric mixer beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla.
- Whisk together flour, almond flour, orange zest, cinnamon, baking powder and salt, then stir into to butter mixture until just incorporated.
- Divide and flatten the dough into two disks, then cover and refrigerate for an hour. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Roll the cookie dough between two sheets of wax paper until about 1/8 inch thick. Don’t worry if it cracks, just patch/press It back together.
- Cut out cookies, then in half of them, cut a “window” using a smaller cutter to create the top pieces. Combine the dough scraps (cutout pieces may be baked alone as mini cookies or treated as scraps) and re-roll, then cut more cookies.
- Transfer to parchment lined baking sheet and bake until the edges are turning golden, about 11-13 minutes. Bake time will vary based on cookie thickness. I found more variation between batches than usual so treat each batch as unique. When done, let set a few minutes, then remove to a rack and cool cookies completely.
- To assemble place a generous teaspoon of jam on bottom half, then top with a windowed cookie.
- You can dust the tops with powdered sugar before or after assembling.
