Ingredients
Method
- Whisk flour and salt together.
- Cut cold butter, powdered sugar, and almond extract into the flour until crumbly.
- Roll into 1-tablespoon balls.
- Press a thumbprint into the center of each ball, pinching closed any cracks.
- Chill 20-30 minutes in the fridge or 10-15 in the freezer.
- Preheat oven to 350F. Stir jam smooth and spoon into each well.
- Bake 14-16 minutes, until edges are just barely golden.
- Cool completely on the pan before serving.
Notes
- The dough looks crumbly and dry before it's rolled -- that's normal for this cut-in shortbread, not a sign to add more butter.
- Chilling the shaped dough keeps the jam wells from puffing closed in the oven.
