Harry and David's Raspberry Galettes Copy

First make delicious Almond Sugar Cookies from CodyKitchenConfections.blogspot.com.

Soft and Chewy Almond Sugar Cookies CCK Original
(Printable Recipe)
1 1/2 C white sugar
2/3 C unsalted butter (cold)
2/3 C shortening (room temp)
2 eggs
2 tsp almond extract
2 2/3 C cake flour
1 C all purpose flour
1 TB cornstarch
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
sugar in the raw (I like raw sugar for this, but any coarse sugar would work)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare baking sheet.

Cream sugar, butter and shortening. Stir in eggs and almond extract. Combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt and add to butter/egg mixture.

Stir to combine until dough forms.

Form dough into walnut sized balls (I used a small cookie scoop) and roll in raw sugar. Place on prepared pan.

Bake cookies for 7 minutes.  Remove from oven and gently press the tops of the cookies flat with the back of a spoon while they are still warm and pliable.  (The cornstarch keeps them from spreading so they will be mounded up).

Remove to cooling rack. Allow to cool completely.

Then spread raspberry curd in between two cookies and sandwich.   This is what I bought:
