Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup almond flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup raspberry jam

Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Make the Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, cinnamon, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

      Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

        Chill the Dough: Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape each into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until firm.

          Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the dough disks to about 1/4-inch thick. Using a cookie cutter, cut out shapes (traditionally, a round shape with a center cutout for the linzer effect). Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a bit of space in between.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges just start to turn golden. Allow them to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

              Assemble the Cookies: Once cooled, take the cookies with cutouts and spread a thin layer of raspberry jam on the solid cookies. Top each with the cutout cookies, creating a sandwich.

                Finish with Sugar: Dust the assembled cookies with powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
