These almond cookies disappeared within three days of baking them. And no, I didn’t get any help eating them. These cookies are delicious!
I love almond cookies anyway, but these are especially tasty because of the almond pieces in the dough, which give them a delicious crunch. Place me on the couch with a plate of these cookies and a cup of tea, and the cookies will be gone before you know it while I watch a movie.
Another idea that sounds delicious is dipping the cookies in melted milk chocolate. I think I’ll have to try that next time. Will you be making these cookies?
As usual make sure the ingredients are at room temperature and check the recipe card below for full instructions.
As I said the only thing you really need for making these easy cookies is a large bowl. The first step of the recipe is to mix butter, sugar and vanilla until creamy. That is usually handy with a stand mixer or hand mixer.
Next is to add the almond flour, regular flour and salt and mix/knead it into a firm dough. Last step is to add the almond and knead them into the dough evenly.
Roll the dough into a log and wrap it tightly in foil. Let it rest in the fridge for at least an hour. Check here if you want to know why you should chill your dough.
Baking tip: You can use a dough cutter to easily slice the dough and gather any leftover dough.
I guarantee you these cookies will not last for very long, but if you do want to store them use an airtight container or a cookie jar and keep them for two to three weeks. You can also freeze them for up to three months.
You can replace the cookies with hazelnut flour or another nut flour. Another option would be to use chufa or tigernut flour. But the flavor will be very different! It’s also possible to replace it with regular flour, taste and texture will be different.
Yes! Almond extract has a strong flavor, so use it sparingly. A little goes a long way, usually 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon is enough.
Chill the dough before baking. This solidifies the fat and helps control spread. Also, make sure your baking sheet isn’t warm when placing dough on it.
