- 1.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Whole egg
- 24 pieces Whole almonds
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 large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In another mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Beat in the almond extract and the egg until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Step 6
Divide the dough into 24 equal portions, rolling each portion into a ball approximately 1 inch in diameter.
Step 7
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Gently press an almond into the center of each ball, flattening the cookie slightly.
Step 9
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden.
Step 10
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
