Ingredients
- 1 cup of almond flour
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of unsalted butter
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Sliced almonds for topping (optional)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft cookie dough forms.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie. If you fancy it, gently press a few sliced almonds onto the top of each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
