Pro Baking Tips

• Toast the almonds before grinding for deeper, richer flavor.
• Use seedless jam for a smoother finish.
• If jam thickens too much, stir briefly before spooning.
• For perfectly round cookies, chill shaped balls for 10 minutes before baking.
• Do not overbake — they should remain pale and delicate.

Flavor Variations

• Swap raspberry for apricot, strawberry, blackberry, or fig jam.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon to the dough for warmth.
• Add lemon zest for a bright citrus note.
• Replace part of the almond flour with hazelnut flour for a twist.

Elegant Bakery-Style Upgrade

For a refined finish:

Drizzle melted white chocolate lightly over cooled cookies.
Let set completely before storing.

The white chocolate adds visual elegance and subtle sweetness without overpowering the almond flavor.

Storage & Make-Ahead

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days.
• Layer with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
• Freeze unbaked dough balls (without jam) for up to 2 months.
• Freeze baked cookies for up to 1 month and dust with fresh powdered sugar after thawing.
