Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 quarters cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 teaspoons almond extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer, about 3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, shape each portion into a log about 12 inches long.
Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten each to about 3/4 inch in thickness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
Using a serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices.
Place the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes on each side, until golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
