Preparation Steps

  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground blanched almonds, and a pinch of salt. Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the buttery mixture until just combined.
  4. Scoop out tablespoon-sized amounts of dough, roll them into balls, and make an indentation to fill with raspberry filling before re-rolling.
