Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line at least two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, salt, and cinnamon.
Mixing
  1. Add the cool, slightly softened butter and mix on low for 3-4 minutes until the mixture resembles sandy breadcrumbs.
  2. Incorporate the cold egg and vanilla, mixing just until a dough forms.
Rolling and Baking
  1. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and roll it to about ¼” thickness. Cut out shapes with a cookie cutter, ensuring to cut holes in half.
  2. Transfer to baking sheets, ensuring enough space between cookies, and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  3. Let cookies cool for 5-10 minutes on baking sheets before dusting with powdered sugar.
  4. Spread jam onto solid cookies and sandwich with the ones with holes.
