Ingredients

• 250 grams Almond flour
• 150 grams Unsalted butter, softened
• 100 grams Powdered sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 50 grams Cornstarch
• 100 grams Your choice of jam (e.g., raspberry, apricot)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and powdered sugar. Beat them together until the mixture is creamy and light using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and blend until well incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms. The mixture should be cohesive but not too sticky.

Step 6

Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle.

Step 7

Pipe small star-shaped mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 8

Using your fingertip, gently press the center of each biscuit to make a slight indentation for the jam.

Step 9

Fill each indentation with a small amount of your chosen jam.

Step 10

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 11

Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve the Kurabye Biscuits with tea or coffee and enjoy!
