Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar can be reduced for less sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or almond extract for stronger flavor
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour can substitute with gluten-free flour
  • 1 cup finely ground almonds replace with sunflower seed flour for nut-free

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Incorporate vanilla extract into the creamed mixture and beat for another 30 seconds.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, finely ground almonds, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing on low until just combined.
  4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Roll the chilled dough into 1-tablespoon-sized balls, make a small indentation in each, and fill with blueberry jam before reshaping.
  7. Place cookies on the baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden.
  8. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before rolling in powdered sugar.
