Ingredients
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Light brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 teaspoons Pure almond extract
- 190 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 60 grams Sliced almonds
- 30 grams Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg and almond extract to the creamed mixture and beat until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the sliced almonds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, form small balls of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Lightly press each cookie dough ball to slightly flatten it.
Step 9
Dust the tops of the cookies with the powdered sugar for a delicate finish.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Step 11
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
Serve and enjoy your Chewy Almond Cookies Wow with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
