Ingredients
Scale
1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
½ cup of powdered sugar, plus extra for rolling
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 cups of all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon of salt
½ cup of finely ground almonds
½ cup of blueberry preserves or fresh blueberries
¼ teaspoon of almond extract (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract if using.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and ground almonds.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture until just combined.
Grab about a tablespoon of dough and form it into a ball, creating an indentation in the center.
Fill each indentation with about half a teaspoon of blueberry preserves or fresh blueberries.
Carefully pinch the dough around the filling to ensure it is covered, then roll back into a ball shape.
Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes until lightly golden underneath. Allow to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
