Categories     Berry

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons almond extract
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
3/4 cup raspberry jam
1 batch almond icing
1 green food coloring

Steps:

  • With electric mixer, beat butter in a large bowl until light. Gradually beat in powdered sugar. Beat in extracts. Add flour and salt and stir until just combined.
  • Gather dough into a ball, then divide in half. Flatten each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Roll out one dough disk on lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut out cookies with cookie cutter and place on baking sheets.
  • Spread 1 teaspoon jam on center. Roll out remaining dough and cut out with cookie cutter. Cut out 1 inch triangle out of each cookie and place on top of jam cookies using a spatula.
  • Bake cookies until slightly browned on edges, about 25 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool.
  • Add half of almond icing in a plastic bag. Add remaining icing and food coloring to another bag to make green icing.
  • Pipe white icing along edges. Pipe green icing in dots on trees.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as well as I hoped. They were a bit dry.
