  1. Beat butter and sugar in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in 1/2 cup flour, then ground almonds and cinnamon. Mix in remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until well combined and dough stiffens a bit.

  4. Working with one dough disk at a time, roll dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Use a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter to cut as many circles from the dough as you can; you should have about 12. Arrange dough circles 1 inch apart onto a prepared baking sheet. Place the baking sheet into the refrigerator.

  5. Knead any leftover scraps into a ball and roll out again into a 1/8-inch-thick sheet. Cut out more circles; you should have about 12 more circles.

  8. Spread a thin coating of jam onto the bottom sides of the fully round cookies. Place a cut-out cookie on top of each one, pressing together to form a sandwich. Return to the wire rack and repeat to form 11 more cookies.
