Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups butter
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons ground almonds
• 0.25 cups white sugar
• 1 cup any flavor fruit jam
• 0.33 cups confectioners' sugar for decoration

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
2. 2 Sift the flour into a bowl and cut in the butter or margarine. Mix in the sugar and almonds. Using a fork, mix in the egg until dough becomes stiff.
3. 3 Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Roll out dough into a thin layer and cut into rounds, 2 inches wide. Re-roll trimmings and cut until you have 20 rounds. Place rounds on cookie sheets.
4. 4 Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until light brown. Let cool on the sheet for about 3 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.
5. 5 When biscuits are completely cold, spread half of the rounds with a thin layer of preserves and sandwich together. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
