Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams white chocolate chips
- 50 grams powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and almond extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated. The dough will be soft.
Fold in the white chocolate chips gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop out small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should remain soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are fully cooled, dust them generously with powdered sugar to create a snowy effect.
Serve and enjoy your Swiss Alps Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
