Below is an enticing image of the cookies you’ll be making.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup finely chopped almonds
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the vanilla and almond extracts, mixing until well combined.
- Slowly incorporate the flour and salt into the mixture, then fold in the finely chopped almonds. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log, about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about an hour to firm up the dough.
- Once chilled, remove the dough from the refrigerator and slice it into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- If desired, sprinkle a little granulated sugar on top of each cookie for added sweetness. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
