Florentine Cookies Recipe
Cookies with raspberry jam and almonds
Ingredients
- 1 16.5-ounce package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 1 cup raspberry jam
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut a sheet of parchment paper to fit inside a regular sheet pan.
- Place the parchment paper rectangle on the counter, and place cookie dough on the parchment paper.
- Roll out cookie dough to cover most of the rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border of paper.
- The dough should be approximately 1/8-inch thick.
- Carefully transfer dough on parchment to the sheet pan.
- Spoon jam onto dough, and use the back of a spoon to spread it evenly over dough.
- Evenly sprinkle with almonds and sugar.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes.
- Transfer sheet pan to a wire rack to cool completely, at least 1 hour.
- When cool, slide baked dough off of sheet pan.
- Cut into rectangles using a pizza cutter or a knife.
- Store cookies in an airtight container, separating layers with pieces of parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together.
