ALMOND BUTTER COOKIE RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Line baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• Beat butter until creamy.
• Add sugars beating until fluffy, approximately 3 minutes.
• Scrap the bowl as necessary.
• Beat in almond butter until incorporated.
• Beat in vanilla and then eggs, one at a time.
• Gently stir in the dry ingredients (I switched to the paddle on my kitchen aid mixer).
• Add ground almonds and stir until just incorporated.
• Roll cookies into 2 Tbs sized balls.
• Place on baking sheets and press each ball twice with a fork to make a crisscross design.
• Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes.
• Edges should be slightly browned and the cookies puffed.
• Cool on sheets for 4 minutes before transferring to a cookie cooling rack.

Steps:

• Cream butter with egg yolk, sugar and almond extract  in a large mixing bowl and then sift salt, cake flour, almond flour and baking soda.
• Combine all the ingredients together and then knead into a dough. Cover with plastic wrapper and refrigerate for 1 hour (optional in winter).
• Pre-heat oven to 170 degree C.
• Divide the dough into 16 similar pieces and then shape each one into a round ball. Slightly flat with fingers (or if you prefer a cuter pattern, you can use forks). Then decorate whole almond in the center. Optionally, brush the egg wash.
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes and then let the cookies stay in the oven for another 10 minutes. Transfer to cooling rack until completely cooled. Then package with air-tight container.
