Ingredients
- 250 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Semolina
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Chopped almonds or cashews (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line baking trays with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, semolina, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix just until a soft dough forms. If using, fold in the chopped almonds or cashews.
Step 5
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into small balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking trays, leaving about 2 cm (1 inch) of space between each cookie.
Step 6
Gently flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Step 7
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake as the cookies should remain pale.
Step 8
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
