- 1 egg room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 ½ cups flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt

- Combine the flour and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well to make the dough.1 ½ cups flour, ¼ teaspoon salt
- Tear off a 12 to 18-inch piece of plastic wrap and transfer the dough to the wrap. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Lightly flour your rolling surface and place the disk of dough on top. Roll the dough, using more flour as needed, to about ⅛-inch thickness. Cut circles using a 2-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter. Place half the circles on a greased or lined baking sheet, about 12-16 per sheet.
- (optional) use a Wilton decorating tip to cut out 2 small “bite marks” in each of the matching circles.
- Place one teaspoon of jam in the center of each circle on the baking sheet, then top with the remaining circles. Press the edges together lightly to seal.½ cup seedless raspberry jam
- If needed, use a toothpick to make or to fix the bite mark holes.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cookies are set. Cool for 5 minutes on the pan before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- If desired, use another toothpick and more jam to emphasize the bite marks.
