Ingredients
For The Almond Filling
- 1 cup Almond Flour
- 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Large Egg White
- 1/2 tsp Almond Extract
For The Cookie Dough
- 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter, Softened
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 Large Egg Yolk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Fine Salt
- 3/4 cup Sliced Almonds
- 2 tbsp Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Mix the almond flour, granulated sugar, egg white, and almond extract until a thick paste forms. Divide the filling into 12 portions and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat the butter and granulated sugar until light and creamy. Mix in the whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the butter mixture. Mix just until a soft, pliable dough forms.
- Divide the dough into 12 portions and flatten each one. Place an almond filling portion in the center, enclose it completely with dough, and gently flatten the filled cookie.
- Press sliced almonds onto the tops and arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool the cookies for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Dust with powdered sugar once completely cool.
