Yields

Directions

In a mixing bowl, mix butter & sugar until fluffy and fully incorporated.
Mix in half cup of flour, then the almonds, followed by cinnamon. Continue mixing in the rest of the flour until the dough thickens.
Cut the dough in half, then mold the dough into two disks. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for one hour.
Preheat oven to 325°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
One disk at a time, place flour on countertop, and roll dough to 1/8" thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut circles from the dough, roughly 12 cookies.
Place your 12 cookies about 1" apart on a baking sheet then place back in the refrigerator.
Combine leftover dough scraps, roll it out to 1/8" thick and make as many circles as you can, repeat the process until there is no more dough.
Place the second batch of circles onto the second baking sheet. Use a 1/2" round cookie cutter to cut out the center from 1/2 of all the cookies.
Bake your cookies for 10-15 minutes then remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for roughly 20 minutes.
Spread a thin coating of jam onto the bottom sides of the fully round cookies. Place a cut-out cookie on top of each one, pressing together to form a sandwich.
Sift the powdered sugar over the cookie, and dollop jam into the center then enjoy!
