Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoons Pure almond extract
• 1 whole Egg, large
• 0.25 cups Slivered almonds (optional, for topping)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine evenly.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, almond extract, and egg until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll each piece into a ball. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

Step 6

If desired, gently press a few slivered almonds onto the top of each cookie for decoration.

Step 7

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will still be soft but will firm up as they cool.

Step 8

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
