- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 cup blueberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened unsalted butter and powdered sugar for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add in the vanilla extract and almond extract, mixing until well combined.
