30 Servings
Prep: 15 min. + chilling Bake: 10 min./batch + cooling

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1-1/2 cups ground almonds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup jelly or jam of your choice

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add almonds and vanilla; mix well. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture until blended. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-in. round cookie cutter. Repeat with remaining dough, using a 2-in. doughnut cutter so the center is out of each cookie.
Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
Spread 1/2 teaspoon jelly over the bottom of the solid cookies; place cookies with cutout center over jelly. Yield: 5 dozen.
