Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160 degrees Celsius (320 degrees Fahrenheit).
- In a mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and powdered sugar together until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the almond extract and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, ground almonds, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until a soft dough forms.
- Shape the dough into small balls about 2 cm in diameter and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to form shortbread cookies.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
- Use softened butter for easier mixing and better texture.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender.
- Chill dough for 10 minutes if too soft to handle before shaping.
