Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 lemon (, zested and juiced)
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup raspberry jam
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instruction

  • To a stand mixer add the butter and sugar and beat until light and fluffy before adding in the eggs, vanilla, lemon and lemon zest.
  • Add in the flour, almond flour and salt on low speed until just combined.
  • Gather the dough into a ball then roll to 1/4" thick, using a scalloped 3" cookie cutter to cut out 12 cookies then stamp out 12 stars and gather all the scraps and re-roll using a bit of extra flour if the dough gets a bit sticky.
  • Stamp out 12 more cookies then chill all the cutouts for at least an hour before baking in a 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes.
  • Before assembling let your cookies cool completely, simmer your raspberry jam on low heat for 5-7 minutes until reduced by one-third then spread a spoonful onto the cookies without the cutout.
  • Sift powdered sugar onto the cookies with the star cutouts then carefully place them onto the cookies with the raspberry jam and press down carefully to spread the jam fully carefully.
