almond flour

🥗Healthier: ground oats

🥗Healthier: fruit preserves

Fruit preserves can be lower in sugar.

Mix together flour, almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, cream together room temperature butter and sugar using an electric mixer until well combined.

Add eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until combined.

Wrap the dough in cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.

Cut out shapes using a heart cookie cutter and a smaller heart cutter for the tops.

Transfer the cookies onto a baking tray, ensuring they are not spaced too far apart.

Bake in the oven until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes, ensuring even baking by using the fan setting if baking two trays at once.

Dust the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar.

Spread raspberry jam on the solid cookies and top with the cut-out cookies.
