Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 50 grams sliced almonds
- 1 large egg white
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour into the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it out to form an even layer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ground cinnamon and coarse sugar.
Lightly beat the egg white until foamy and brush it over the surface of the dough.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top, followed by the sliced almonds.
Gently press the almonds into the dough to ensure they stick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.
Using the parchment paper, lift the cookie slab out of the pan and transfer it to a cutting board.
While still slightly warm, cut into rectangular or diamond-shaped pieces.
Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.
