Tips For Easy Raspberry-Filled Almond Snow Cookies

• Chill the Dough: If the dough is too soft to handle, chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes before shaping and baking the cookies.
• Use Jam or Preserves: Raspberry jam or preserves work best for this recipe, but you can substitute it with other fruit jams like strawberry or apricot.

Substitutions and Variations

• Different Nuts: If you prefer, you can substitute the chopped almonds with finely chopped pistachios or hazelnuts for a different flavor.
• No Jam?: If you don’t have jam, you can fill the cookies with Nutella, peanut butter, or a dollop of lemon curd for a fun twist.

Make a Healthier Version

• Use reduced-fat butter and substitute a sugar substitute for the powdered sugar if you’re looking for a lower-calorie version.
• For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
