Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons Pure almond extract
- 1 whole Egg, large
- 0.25 cups Slivered almonds (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine evenly.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, almond extract, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until a soft dough forms.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll each piece into a ball. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
If desired, gently press a few slivered almonds onto the top of each cookie for decoration.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will still be soft but will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
