Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • ⅔ cup white sugar
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons almond extract, divided
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup seedless raspberry jam
  • ½ cup confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
