List of Ingredients



• Cookie Ingredients:
  
• 1 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
  
• 2/3 cup sugar
  
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1/2 cup raspberry jam*
  
• Glaze Ingredients:
  
• 1 cup powdered sugar
  
• 2 to 3 teaspoons water

Instructions



1. Combine butter, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add flour. Beat, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour.
