Almond Cookies

Step by step

1. 1

   In a bowl, add the room-temperature butter and beat it until it reaches a creamy texture.

   
2. 2

   Add the sugar and beat again.

   
3. 3

   Add the vanilla extract and the egg, and mix them in.

   
4. 4

   Add the almond flour, the all-purpose flour and the baking powder. Mix everything together with a spoon.

   
5. 5

   Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.

   
6. 6

   Unwrap, shape the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet.

   
7. 7

   In a bowl, add an egg and some milk, and beat them together.

   
8. 8

   With a bench scraper or a knife, make the marks on the cookies and then brush them with the beaten egg and milk — this is what makes them shiny.

   
9. 9

   Place an almond on each cookie.

   
10. 10

    Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20 minutes.
