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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Step 3

Add the egg yolks and almond extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and continue to mix until fully incorporated.

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 on low speed, until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Gently press the center of each dough ball with your thumb to flatten it slightly and create a small indentation.

Step 8

Sprinkle a few sliced almonds on top of each cookie, lightly pressing them into the dough to stick.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Once cooled, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy your delicious Tokay Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
