Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter and ½ cup of powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of ground almonds, 1½ cups of all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt. Gradually mix into the creamed butter and sugar until just combined.
  3. Take tablespoon-sized portions of the dough, roll into balls, create an indentation, fill with raspberry filling, and reshape back.
