Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Cream butter and sugar until light, then beat in the almond extract. Gradually fold in flour and salt to form a stiff dough.
In a small bowl, combine the Filling ingredients. Take 1 tablespoon of dough, flatten it, place teaspoon of filling in the center, and wrap the dough around to seal completely.
Place shaped cookies on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 45 minutes to ensure the dough remains firm during baking.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-14 minutes until the edges are just barely golden, then cool on a wire rack.
