Italian Almond Cookies


















  • 1 cup all purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon almond flour

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 egg yolk

  • 1/3 cup + 1 1/2 tablespoon butter* (softened)

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla**

  • *I use salted butter, if you use unsalted then add 1/4
    teaspoon of salt.

  • **You can substitute with almond flavouring or use both, if
    you like a stronger flavour add 1 teaspoon.












  1. In a large bowl whisk together the flours and sugar then
    make a well in the middle and add the egg yolk, butter and vanilla, mix with a
    fork until almost combined. This dough is also very easy to make with a Food
    Processor.

  2. Move to a lightly floured flat surface and knead into a
    compact ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for one hour.

  3. Pre-heat oven to 350 F (180C) and line cookie sheets with
    parchment paper.

  4. Remove the dough from the fridge and on a lightly floured
    flat surface roll into a 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) thick rectangle, with your favourite
    cookie cutter cut out cookies (I used mini cutters and got a lot of cookies,
    the first photo I used a medium round cutter and I got 15 cookies).

  5. Place cookies on prepared cookie sheet and bake for
    approximately 6 minutes (for mini cookies) approximately 8 - 10 minutes for
    larger. Do not let the cookies brown. 
    Let cool on cookie sheet, then dust with powdered / icing sugar.  Enjoy!
