Steps:

Cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in extracts. Gradually beat flour into creamed mixture. Shape into a ball; refrigerate, covered, for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-in. thickness. With floured cookie cutters, cut dough into equal numbers of 2-1/2-in. and 1-1/2-in. stars. Combine almonds, sugar and cinnamon. Brush small stars with egg white; immediately sprinkle with almond mixture. Leave large stars plain.
Place all stars 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake just until tips begin to brown, about 10 minutes for small stars and 12 minutes for large. Cool on wire racks.
To assemble, spread enough jam over large stars to cover centers. Top with small stars; press lightly (jam should show around edge of small stars). Let jam set before storing cookies in an airtight container.
Yield: about 1-1/2 dozen.
