Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Cream softened butter and powdered sugar with vanilla and almond extract until fluffy.
Combine dry ingredients: flour and salt, mixing until a thick dough forms.
Scoop dough into balls, pressing your thumb in the center to create a divot.
Fill the divots with raspberry jam and refrigerate for at least one hour.
Bake for 10-11 minutes until edges are golden.
Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring.
Optionally drizzle with glaze after cooling.

Notes
