Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups butter (or margarine)
  • 2 1/4 cups ground blanched almonds (may be called almond meal at the store)
  • 3 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • fruit jam (flavor of your choice, but make sure there are no fruit chunks in it)
  • confectioners' sugar

Directions:

  1. Beat the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the almond meal and vanilla flavoring.
  3. Add the flour and knead until smooth.
  4. Chill dough in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
  5. Preheat over to 325 degrees.
  6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured cutting board to the thickness of 1/8 -1/4 (the thinner the dough, the better the cookie).
  7. Cut with small round, star, or diamond-shaped cookie cutters.
  8. Use a smaller cookie cutter to cut a window in half the cookies (these will be the top of the cookie sandwiches).
  9. Place all the cookies on lightly buttered and floured cookie sheets.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden.
  11. Remove cookies from the baking sheet and let cool.
  12. Spread the cookies without a window with fruit jam.
  13. Coat the cookies with windows in confectioners' sugar, and then place on top of the cookies with fruit jam.
