  • 1/2 Cup Violet Jam

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F and line 2 baking sheets.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until fluffy and smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the orange zest, vanilla, almond extract and beat on medium speed until smooth.
  • Add the dry mixture to the wet one a little at a time and mix another minute or so until well combined.
