These are thin and crispy.
I start with Sliced Almonds and finely chop them. It's easier that chopping whole Almonds. |
Choose a good Almond Extract. |
Here's what you'll need:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
A Sheet Pan lined with Parchment Paper
A Small Cookie Scoop (1 1/4")
1 1/2 C Butter, softened to room temperature. (24 TBS)
1 C Light Brown Sugar
1 C Granulated Sugar
2 Large Eggs
1 tsp Almond Extract
2 1/4 C Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/8 tsp Salt
1 C finely chopped Almonds
In a Stand Mixer on Medium Speed:
Butter
Brown Sugar
Granulated Sugar
Mix for 5 minutes.
Add:
Eggs
Almond Extract
Mix just until incorporated.
In a Mixing Bowl:
Flour
Baking Powder
Salt
Whisk well.
Add this to the Wet Ingredients in the Stand Mixer.
Mix to combine well.
Fold in Almonds by hand.
Use the Cookie Scoop and drop the Dough 3" apart onto the Sheet Pan.
Bake 8 - 9 minutes until the edges are Golden Brown.
Remove the Pan to a Rack to cool for 5 minutes.
Transfer the Cookies to the Rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
Peace in the Kitchen!
