Tap a step to mark it done. The screen stays on while you cook.

  1. Heat the oven

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C).

  2. Mix the dough

    Chop the almonds very finely. Put the cookie dough in a large bowl, add the almonds and almond extract, and mix well.

  3. Scoop and press

    Use a small cookie scoop to drop the dough 2 inches apart on a baking stone or baking sheet. Press a lightly floured finger into the center of each to make a well.

  4. Add the jam

    Fill each well with about ½ teaspoon of raspberry preserves.

  5. Bake

    Bake for 15–18 minutes, until light golden brown. Move the cookies to a cooling rack set over parchment paper.

  6. Dust with sugar

    Once they’re cool, sprinkle them with powdered sugar.
