Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Light brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 teaspoons Pure almond extract
- 190 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 60 grams Sliced almonds
- 30 grams Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and almond extract to the creamed mixture and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the sliced almonds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, form small balls of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Lightly press each cookie dough ball to slightly flatten it.
Dust the tops of the cookies with the powdered sugar for a delicate finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Chewy Almond Cookies Wow with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
