- Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mix and beat on medium until creamy.
- Add the almond extract and beat again to distribute.

- Remove from the mixing bowl, form into a ball, cover with wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Shape the dough into 1-inch balls (I kept dividing it in half until I had 32 pieces to form into balls) and set a few inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
- Indent each ball with your thumb or a small measuring spoon. Fill the indent with jam.
