butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil offers a dairy-free option while margarine is more affordable.

ground almonds

🥗Healthier: ground walnuts

💰Cheaper: ground sunflower seeds

Walnuts provide a similar flavor, while sunflower seeds are budget-friendly.

raspberry jam

🥗Healthier: fruit preserves

💰Cheaper: store-brand jam

Fruit preserves often have less sugar, while store brands save money.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cream together butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.

Add egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

Sift together flour in a separate bowl.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until a dough forms.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

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

Cut out shapes using a cookie cutter, making half of them with a small hole in the center.

Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.

Let the cookies cool on a wire rack.

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

Dust the top cookies with icing sugar before serving.
