Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 30 grams Almonds (sliced or whole for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat for a few seconds to combine.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, cardamom powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
Step 6
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 15 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Step 7
After chilling, divide the dough into small, equal portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll each into a ball.
Step 8
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them. Flatten each ball slightly with your palm or the back of a spoon.
Step 9
Press a sliced or whole almond gently onto the top of each cookie as garnish.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 11
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
