Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam

For a twist, try using apricot or strawberry jam instead of raspberry.
