Almond Cookies instructions
- Preheat oven to 165C..
- Sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. If you don't have something to sift, add them all into the bowl and mix around thoroughly with a fork. Be sure to break up any large chunks of sugar or flour..
- Chop up the butter into chunks (room temperature) and add into the flour mixture. It is time to 'cut the butter into the flour mixture' - what does this mean do you ask? There are a few ways to do this: 1) THE FUN WAY! Using your hands, start mushing the butter and flour together until all of the butter has been intermixed the consistency of the dough is like a cornmeal; or 2): you can use a hand held mixed on a really low setting. Be careful not to over mix it..
- Now add the egg and almond extract. Mix really well until the dough comes together and it soft and smooth..
- Roll the dough into 1 inch balls. Set them 2 inches apart on un-greased cookie sheets. Place an almond on top of each dough ball and press down to flatten slighty..
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, or until cookies are golden brown!.
