Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- ½ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ⅛ tsp salt
Additional Ingredients:
- 3 tsp white sugar (for sprinkling)
- 3 Tbsp sliced almonds
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- In a small bowl, cream the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and the almond extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix until combined.
- Pour 3 Tbsp of white sugar into a shallow bowl then shape the dough into 1-inch balls and roll in the sugar.
- Place the balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet then flatten with the bottom of a glass (you can make a pretty design by using a glass with a design on the bottom of it). Press 3 almond slices into the center of each cookie.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
- Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks.
Notes:
Make Ahead: Cookies are great desserts to make ahead. Just store in an air-tight container.
These are really good.
