Description
A wonderful almond flavored shortbread cookie
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup almonds, finely ground
24 whole blanched almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 F (160 C)
- Cream butter and sugar
- Add flour and salt
- Mix in extracts and ground almonds until the batter is well combined
- Roll the dough into 24 balls about the size of a walnut (27g in my case)
- Place on a baking sheet and flatten with a fork, making a criss-cross pattern, as you would with peanut butter cookies. No need to flour the fork, the dough isn’t sticky
- Lightly press one blanched almond on top of each cookie
- Bake until the bottoms are lightly brown, about 25 minutes
