Raspberry Linzer Wreaths are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. These sweet and tangy cookies are made with a buttery almond dough and filled with a homemade raspberry jam. The combination of the nutty dough and fruity filling creates a mouthwatering flavor that is sure to please.

To make these Raspberry Linzer Wreaths, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
- Powdered sugar, for dusting

This recipe makes about 24 cookies.
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla and almond extracts.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Once chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a 2-inch cookie cutter to cut out circles, then use a smaller cookie cutter to cut out the centers of half of the circles. These will be the tops of your cookies.
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
To assemble the cookies, spread a small amount of raspberry jam on the bottom halves of the cookies. Top with the cut-out cookies and dust with powdered sugar.
These Raspberry Linzer Wreaths are a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors, with a buttery and nutty texture. They are a great addition to any holiday cookie platter or as a special treat for any occasion.
