Almond cookies are definitely the most addictive cookies I ever make in my kitchen. These buttery cookies are easy to make, melt in your mouth and make the perfect treat next to a cup of coffee or tea.<\/p>\n

They are crispy on the outside and in the first bite and dissolve in the mouth, with a delicate taste of butter and almonds. These are perfect for cold winter days, when you feel like something sweet and delicious in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

And they are also so easy to make! A few minutes of preparation in a food processor, short baking, dipping in powdered sugar and you have snowy and buttery almond cookies that you will not be able to resist.<\/p>\n

Butter Almond Cookies<\/h2>\n

\n

15-20 cookies<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n

For the cookies:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • 140 grams (1 cup) AP flour (see notes for the gluten-free version)<\/li>\n
  • 20 grams (2 tablespoons) cornstarch<\/li>\n
  • 100 grams blanched almonds (or almond meal)<\/li>\n
  • 100 grams diced cold butter<\/li>\n
  • 30 grams (3 tablespoons) powdered sugar<\/li>\n
  • Pinch of salt<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n
  • 1-2 tablespoons cold water (as needed, optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    To serve:<\/h4>\n
      \n
    • sugar powder<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n
      \n
        \n
      1. Preheat oven to 180 Celsius degrees and line a pan with baking paper.<\/li>\n
      2. In a food processor with a steel blade put flour, cornstarch and almonds and grind to a uniform powder.<\/li>\n
      3. Add cold butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and salt and process for about half a minute or until large lumps of dough are obtained. If the dough stays dry – add a little water to combine.<\/li>\n
      4. Roll balls in the palms of your hands and place at intervals on the baking sheet.<\/li>\n
      5. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are set and slightly golden, but still quite light.<\/li>\n
      6. Cool to room temperature.<\/li>\n
      7. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top or dip in powdered sugar for decoration.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n
        \n
          \n
        • The cookies are kept in an airtight jar for up to a week.<\/li>\n
        • You can freeze the prepared cookies in an airtight container (preferably without the powdered sugar).<\/li>\n
        • Instead of almonds you can use any other nut you like.<\/li>\n
        • Gluten-free version: Use gluten free flour mix in the same amount instead of AP flour.<\/li>\n
        • If you want, you can also add a little lemon peel or grated orange to enrich the taste.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n
          \n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
