These delightful almond cookies are a perfect blend of buttery goodness and nutty flavor, ideal for any occasion.
Ingredients
2 large eggs
1 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups flour
Method
Begin by boiling eggs in a saucepan filled with water, ensuring they are covered by about an inch. Once it reaches a rolling boil, remove it from heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 15 minutes. Afterward, drain the water and cool the eggs under cold running water. Carefully peel the shells and separate the yolks from the whites. Finely grate or sieve the yolks and set the whites aside for future recipes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. Mix in the egg yolks and almond extract until well combined. Gradually add the flour, mixing until just incorporated.
Using a cookie press, shape the cookie dough and arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are a delicate golden brown.
