Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup sliced almonds, for topping
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the egg yolks and almond extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed, until a soft dough forms.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently press the center of each dough ball with your thumb to flatten it slightly and create a small indentation.
Sprinkle a few sliced almonds on top of each cookie, lightly pressing them into the dough to stick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Tokay Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
