  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Sliced almonds optional

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and almond extract and mix until well combined.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand.
  • If using sliced almonds, press a few onto the top of each cookie.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
