Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 0.5 cup sliced almonds
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add in the almond extract and mix until well incorporated.

Step 4

Sift in the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix gently until the dough starts to come together.

Step 5

Fold in the sliced almonds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Take small portions of the dough (about one tablespoon each) and roll them into balls.

Step 7

Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 8

Using the bottom of a glass cup, gently press each dough ball to flatten it to about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the almond thins cool on them for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
