  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp. almond extract

COOKIES:
In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar and extract until light and fluffy.
Add half of the flour and mix on low speed of electric mixture.
Add remaining flour and mix on low speed of electric mixer until dough forms a ball.

Make an indentation in the center of each cookie with your thumb or the bottom of a wooden spoon. (This is easier if you hold each ball in your hand so the cookies don't break apart while inserting the wooden spoon).

Fill indentation in each cookie with raspberry jam.
Bake at 350˚ for 14-18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
