Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup finely chopped almonds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar in a medium mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the flour and salt until no dry bits remain, and if desired, fold in the finely chopped almonds.
- Scoop about a tablespoon of dough, roll it into a ball, and flatten slightly before placing on the baking sheets.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden. Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Experiment by adding lemon zest, or swap almonds for pecans or walnuts. For a vegan option, use coconut oil and a flaxseed egg.
