Ingredients
- 1 cup (125 g) All-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (85 g) Almond meal
- ½ tsp Baking powder
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ½ cup (113 g) Butter unsalted, room temperature
- ¼ cup (50 g) White sugar
- ¼ cup (55 g) Brown sugar
- 1 Egg large
- ¼ tsp Almond extract
- ¼ tsp Vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 356°F / 180°C Gas Mark 4
- Dry ingredients - In a bowl, combine the flour, almond meal, baking powder, and salt. Set asideNote - as I did in the video, you can add the almond meal separately, too.1 cup All-purpose flour, ¾ cup Almond meal, ½ tsp Baking powder, ¼ tsp Salt
- Wet ingredients - In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg, followed by the vanilla and almond extract. Pro tip - it is important that the sugar is almost dissolved and the mixture is light and fluffy; otherwise, you will have grainy cookies with undissolved sugar.½ cup Butter, ¼ cup White sugar, ¼ cup Brown sugar, 1 Egg , ¼ tsp Almond extract, ¼ tsp Vanilla extract
- Combine - Finally, add the flour mixture. Combine well, but do not overmix.
- Shape - Use a cookie scoop (or two spoons) to drop dollops of dough onto a parchment-lined baking tray. Pro tip - I used about 2 tbsp of dough for each cookie, but you can make them bigger or smaller.
- Bake - Transfer the baking tray to the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the outside is lightly golden.
- Store - When done, let the cookies cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack and cool them completely. Store in an airtight cookie jar. These cookies will keep fresh for up to five days.Pro tip - always cool the cookies properly before you add them to an airtight container.
