Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 unit large egg
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pink gel food coloring
- 40 grams sliced almonds
- 15 grams powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Add the almond extract, vanilla extract, and egg to the bowl. Beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a dough forms.
Add the pink gel food coloring and gently mix until an even pink color is achieved.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie and roll into small balls.
Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm apart.
Lightly press a few sliced almonds onto the top of each ball, flattening them slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden (do not overbake to keep them soft).
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
Serve and enjoy your Pink Sweeties Pretty Pink Almond Cookies!
