  3. Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts.
  4. Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until just combined.

  6. Fold the dough around the jam to form a ball.

Notes

For an extra snowy appearance, roll in powdered sugar while the cookies are still warm. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for about one week, or freeze for up to three months.
