Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
- Baking sheet
- Cooling Rack
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup butter unsalted, softened to room temperature
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp almond extract
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ½ cup almond flour
Instructions
- Combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl. Mix them well and set aside.
- Use a stand or hand mixer to beat the butter until it becomes smooth and creamy. Into the creamy butter, add the egg, almond extract, and sugar. Mix everything until it's well combined.
- Introduce the mixed dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Keep mixing until everything is well combined, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl.
- Cover the dough bowl and pop it into the refrigerator. Let it chill for a cool 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350℉. Prepare a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Use a small cookie scoop to spoon out the cookie dough onto the baking sheet. Gently press down each mound to flatten to about 1/2 inch thick. Don't forget to crown them with sliced almonds!
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges start to show a lovely golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for around 5 minutes. After that, transfer them to a wire rack for further cooling.

- Prep Ahead: Prepare the cookie dough in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days before baking, making it convenient for planning ahead.
- Freshly Baked Cookies: Once baked, keep the cookies fresh by storing them in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freezing Option: If you want to save some for later, these cookies freeze well. Once cooled to room temperature, store them in a sealed freezer-safe container or bag for 3-4 months. When you're ready to enjoy, simply take them out, thaw at room temperature, and savor the goodness.
