Jam-Filled Sandwich Cookies

Tender German Spitzbuben made with buttery almond shortbread, bright raspberry jam, and a delicate dusting of confectioners' sugar. The cutout centers let the jewel-colored filling show through while keeping the cookies crisp at the edges and soft in the middle.

Come preparare

1
Place the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Beat on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the bowl once, until the mixture is visibly pale, smooth, and fluffy. Add the lemon zest, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, then beat for about 30 seconds until fully incorporated and no streaks of yolk remain.
2
Add the flour, almond flour, and salt. Mix just until no dry streaks remain and a soft dough forms; do not overwork it.
3
Divide the dough in half, shape each portion into a flat disk, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes. Heat the oven to 175°C and line two baking sheets with parchment.
4
Roll one dough disk on a lightly floured surface to 3 mm thick. Cut 24 round cookies about 5 cm wide, then cut a 2 cm circle from the center of half of them. Repeat with the second disk, rerolling scraps once.

5
Arrange the cookies on the prepared sheets with a little space between them. Chill for 15 minutes, then bake one sheet at a time for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are pale golden and the centers look set.
6
Cool the cookies on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a rack and cool completely before filling.
7
Spread about 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam over each solid cookie, leaving a narrow border. Dust the cutout cookies generously with confectioners' sugar, then place them sugar-side up over the jam and press gently to sandwich.

Perché questa ricetta funziona

Almond flour gives the shortbread a tender, lightly nutty crumb, while lemon zest and raspberry jam balance the rich butter with clean acidity. Chilling twice protects the cutout shape and keeps the finished cookies crisp.

Conservazione e riscaldamento

Come conservarla

Store completely cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days, separating layers with parchment. For the crispest texture, fill them at least 2 hours before serving but not more than a day ahead.

Come riscaldarla

Do not reheat filled cookies. If desired, warm unfilled baked cookies in a 150°C oven for 3 minutes, then cool completely before filling.
