Delicious Keebler Almond Shortbread Cookies

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

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the vanilla and almond extracts, mixing until well combined.
  4. Slowly incorporate the flour and salt into the mixture, then fold in the finely chopped almonds. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
