Delicious Almond Shortbread Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Butter and Sugar

    In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use a hand mixer for best results.
  3. Add Flours and Vanilla

    Gradually add the all-purpose flour and almond flour to the butter mixture, along with the vanilla extract. Mix until combined.

    Do not overmix to keep cookies tender.
  4. Shape the Dough

    Form the dough into a log shape and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

    Chilling helps in slicing the cookies easily.
  5. Slice and Bake

    Slice the chilled dough into 1/4-inch thick cookies and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden.

    Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
