Raspberry Almond Snowball Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• ½ cup powdered sugar (plus extra for coating)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup finely ground almonds
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup seedless raspberry jam

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Cream the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, then mix in vanilla.
3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, ground almonds, and salt.
4. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix until combined.
5. Roll 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball, press an indentation, and fill with ¼ tsp raspberry jam.
6. Pinch to seal, roll smooth, and place on the baking sheet.
7. Bake 10–12 minutes, until lightly golden.
8. Cool slightly, move to a wire rack, then roll in powdered sugar—twice for best coverage.
