Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup blanched almonds
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 14 tbsp soft butter
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp ground cardamom
Instructions
- In a blender, pulse almonds until fine.
- Mix sugar, butter, all-purpose flour and almond flour until well combined. Mix in the egg.
- Take dough and shape into a fat disc and cover with saran wrap. Freeze for 1 hour.
- Roll out the dough with a rolling pin until 1/4 inch thick. Cut out circles with a cookie cutter (or whatever shape you want!) and place on a non-greased baking sheet about 1-2 inches apart since they will spread.
- Bake at 400 F for 8 minutes or until the bottoms JUST start turning brown. Cool on a rack. You can then eat them plain or dip them in melted chocolate and add some festive sprinkles. Enjoy!
Notes
– If you plan on using cookie cutters then you might want to freeze the dough for 5 minutes in between rolling out the dough to help the cookies keep their shape
– You can also just squish the dough down in a 9×13 sheet pan and poke with a fork and bake for 10-13 minutes. Let it cool and then cut into bars!
