Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Ground almonds
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Almond extract
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground almonds, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and creamy, about 3 minutes.
Add the egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring with a spatula until a dough forms.
Using a rounded tablespoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each biscuit for spreading.
Sprinkle the tops of the biscuits with sliced almonds for added crunch and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the almond biscuits in an airtight container to maintain their crispness and enjoy!
