# Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - A small pinch of salt (1/4 teaspoon)
02 - Two teaspoons of cornstarch
03 - Two and a quarter cups (about 280g) plain flour

→ Wet Ingredients

04 - 1 cup of butter (unsalted, softened)
05 - 1 and a half teaspoons of almond flavoring

07 - 1 and a half teaspoons of vanilla flavoring
08 - 1/3 cup packed soft brown sugar
09 - 1/3 cup white sugar

→ Filling

10 - Half a cup of raspberry preserves

# Instructions:

01 - Lay parchment on your baking trays. Stir together the dry mix until evenly blended.
02 - Beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for a couple of minutes. Pour in the egg yolk and extracts, then mix. Add in the dry mix and stir until it's doughy.
03 - Roll out dough into 1-tbsp-sized balls, press a heart shape into each. Chill in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
04 - Warm the jam so it softens. Spoon half a teaspoon into each heart groove. Bake at 375°F for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden.

# Notes:

01 - Good for one week on the counter, or two weeks in the fridge.
02 - You can add zest from citrus fruits or sugar-coat them before baking for extra flavor.
