Ingredients
Scale

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
