Gradually add the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt

Mix until the dough comes together

Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet

Fill each indentation with a small amount of raspberry jam

Sprinkle sliced almonds over the jam-filled centers of the cookies
