Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 180 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond essence
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the large egg, vanilla extract, and almond essence to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Gently flatten each scoop of dough with the back of a spoon or your hand.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the biscuits with your favorite tea or coffee and enjoy!
