Ingredients
- 226 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons Almond extract
- 260 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Sliced almonds
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and almond extract to the creamed butter mixture. Mix well to combine.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing the dough.
Step 6
Gently fold in the sliced almonds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, form the dough into 1.5-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 8
Press down gently on each ball to slightly flatten them for even baking.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.
Step 10
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
