Servings: persons

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup ground almonds, toasted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup softened butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg

1
Mix flour, almonds and baking powder in small bowl; set aside.
2
Beat butter and granulated sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; mix well. Add flour mixture; beat until well blended.
3
Divide dough into four equal portions; wrap individually with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
4
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F Spray baking sheet with cooking spray. Place one portion of dough between two sheets of waxed paper; roll to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into round shapes with 2-1/2-inch cookie cutter. Place, 1 inch apart, on prepared baking sheet. Cut three (1/4-inch) circles from half of the cookies using a sharp knife. Repeat with remaining dough.
5
Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or just until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
6
Assemble cookies by spreading 2 teaspoons preserves onto each solid cookie; top with 1 cut-out cookie. Sift confectioners' sugar over assembled cookies. Store in airtight container at room temperature.

Tip: To prevent dough from sticking to your cookie cutter, spray it with Pam Baking.
