Preparation Steps

Cream 1 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture and blend until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of finely ground almonds, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, folding gently until just combined.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll tablespoon-sized portions of dough into balls and create a well in the center of each, filling with 1 teaspoon of blueberry jam.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.
Let cookies cool for a few minutes, then roll in powdered sugar for the snowball appearance.
