Italian Almond Cookies

Italians love two things in their sweets, lemons and almonds. And a dusting of icing sugar doesn’t hurt either.

This year I decided to share one of the Italian’s favourite Christmas Cookies, Almond Cookies, plain and simple.

These cookies are a little like a buttery shortbread but with that extra taste of almond.

The perfect cut out cookie. And the best thing? You need just one bowl and a fork. And don’t forget to knead, this dough doesn’t come together in two seconds. A few minutes of kneading time is required!

Ingredients :

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon almond flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/3 cup + 1 1/2 tablespoon butter (softened)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• US Customary - Metric
• Get Ingredients Powered by Chicory

Instructions :

1. In a large bowl whisk together the flours and sugar then make a well in the middle and add the egg yolk, butter and vanilla.
2. Mix with a fork until almost combined.
3. This dough is also very easy to make with a Food Processor.
4. Move to a lightly floured flat surface and knead into a compact ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for one hour.
