Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups almond flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Add 1/2 cup softened butter, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the zest of 1 lemon to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
- Press 2/3 of the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart pan. Spread the raspberry jam over the dough.
- Roll out the remaining dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes and place them on top of the raspberry jam.

- Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar. Slice and serve.
