I made these today. They look and taste rather fancy, but were fairly easy and quick to do!

Almond Raspberry Cookies

1 package (20 ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1 cup blanched slivered almonds, chopped
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup red raspberry preserves
2/3 cup powdered sugar


Preheat oven to 350°F. Place cookie dough in Classic Batter Bowl. Chop almonds very finely with Food Chopper. Add almonds and almond extract to dough; mix well (I use cooking gloves and just smoosh it together until mixed).

Using Small Scoop, drop dough 2 inches apart on flat Baking Stone. Press lightly floured finger in center of dough to make indentations. Fill indentations with about 1/2 teaspoon raspberry preserves.

Bake 15-18 minutes or until cookies are light golden brown. Place Parchment Paper under Stackable Cooling Rack. Remove cookies from baking stone to cooling rack. Cool; sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Yield: About 4 dozen cookies

Funny you should say that... I made bar pan pizza (just Pillsbury crust, tomato sauce, mozz/parmesan), Salad from the bag (didn't add anything to it), Kraft mac & cheese and Spaghettios!

My daughter is having her first slumber party on Friday (8 kids total, 2 may not spend the night)... I was thinking these would be girly, but I wanted to make sure we both liked them first). :)

Frequently Asked Questions

What ingredients do I need to make easy almond raspberry cookies?

To make easy almond raspberry cookies, you will need the following ingredients: 1 cup of almond flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of unsalted butter (softened), 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon of almond extract, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 cup of raspberry jam.

How do I prepare the dough for almond raspberry cookies?

To prepare the dough, start by creaming the softened butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Then, add the egg and almond extract, mixing until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour and baking powder, then gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.

What is the best way to shape the cookies?

To shape the cookies, take a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to create a small indentation in the center of each cookie, where you will later add the raspberry jam.

How long should I bake the almond raspberry cookies?

Bake the almond raspberry cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking, as they can become dry if left in the oven too long.

How do I store the almond raspberry cookies after baking?

Once the cookies have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them fresh for longer, you can also freeze them in a freezer-safe container for up to three months.
