Ingredients

• 200 grams gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 50 grams almond flour
• 150 grams unsalted butter
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg yolk
• 0.25 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 100 grams strawberry or raspberry jam (or any preferred jam)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, and fine sea salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until well incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or by hand with a spatula until a dough forms. The dough should be smooth but not sticky.

Step 6

Lightly flour your work surface with gluten-free flour. Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Step 7

Using a cookie cutter of your choice (about 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out an even number of cookies. On half of the cookies, use a smaller cutter to cut out a circle or shape in the center.

Step 8

Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a bit of space between them.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake.

Step 10

Once baked, remove cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 11

Spread about 1 teaspoon of your chosen jam on the flat side of the whole cookies. Place the cut-out cookies on top, pressing gently to sandwich them together.

Step 12

Dust the top of the cookies lightly with powdered sugar to add a sweet finishing touch.

Step 13

Enjoy these delightful Gluten-Free Jammy Dodger Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
