RASPBERRY ALMOND COOKIES

Steps:

• Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower middle positions and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Process 1 cup flour and almonds in food processor until finely ground. Add half cup sugar and remaining flour and process until combined. Add butter and vanilla to food processor and pulse until dough forms.
• On lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Using 2 inch round cookie cutter, cut out cookies, gathering and rerolling dough as necessary. Place cookies 2 inch apart on prepared baking sheets until light brown around edges, about 15 minutes, switching and rotating sheets halfway through baking. Cool 5 minutes on sheets, then transfer to wire rack.
• Transfer remaining sugar to a bowl. Working quickly, spread 1 tsp jam on bottom of half of warm cookies, then press remaining cookies onto jam to form sandwiches. Roll cookies in sugar to coat. Cool completely on wire rack. Repeat with remaining dough.

• Press half the oat mix in an even layer in the baking tray. Spread the mashed raspberries on top, then spoon the remaining oats on top and smooth with the back of a spoon. Bake for 10-12 mins or until golden. Remove from the oven and leave to cool before slicing into 16.
