Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Almond extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cups Sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add honey, vanilla extract, almond extract, and the egg to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each cookie slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon, then sprinkle a few sliced almonds on top of each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are cool, lightly dust them with powdered sugar for a fancy finish.
Serve and enjoy your 'A Joy of Almond' cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
