Ingredients
1½ cups all-purpose flour (scooped and leveled)
1½ cups almond flour (scooped and leveled)
1 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup + 2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp almond extract
⅔ cup jam (blueberry, raspberry, or your favorite)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt.
In another bowl, cream softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Beat in vanilla and almond extracts. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the baking sheet. Use your thumb or the back of a small spoon to make a heart-shaped indent in the center of each.
Fill each heart with about ½ teaspoon of jam.
Bake for 12–14 minutes or until edges are just golden. Cool completely before serving.
