Cardamom Thumbprints
- 1 cup fine almond flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- One 10-ounce jar apricot, seedless raspberry or strawberry jam
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk the flours with the cardamom and salt.
- In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter with the sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla.
- At low speed, beat in the dry ingredients.
- Gather up the dough and knead a few times to form it into a ball.
- Using a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon measure, portion the dough into 36 rolled balls.
- Arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart.
- Using the back of a teaspoon, make an indentation in the center of each ball.
- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes, until slightly firm.
- Remove the baking sheets from the oven and press the indentations again.
- Return the cookies to the oven and bake for 7 to 8 minutes longer, until lightly golden and dry but not hard.
- Transfer the cookies to racks to cool completely.
- Fill the thumbprints with jam and serve.
