Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and almond extract.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Scoop out portions of the dough into balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and flatten each slightly, creating a small well in half of them for the jam.
- Top each filled cookie with an unfilled disc of dough and crimp the edges with a fork.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges turn golden brown.
- Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Drizzle with icing and decorate with sprinkles if desired.
