Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar, light or dark

Recommended Equipment

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and position a rack in the center of the oven. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
    1/2 cup unsalted butter | 1 cup packed brown sugar | 1 large egg | 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, blend the dry mixture into the creamed mixture. Stir the ground almonds into the cookie dough.
    1 3/4 cups cake flour | 1 tsp baking powder | 1/2 tsp fine salt | 1/2 cup ground almonds
  • Chill the dough for about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • On a floured surface, roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough with cookie cutters and arrange the shapes on the prepared baking sheets.
    • If the dough gets too soft while rolling and cutting, chill it again for a few minutes to make the cookies easier to handle and help them keep their shape.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for approximately 10 to 12 minutes, until the cookies are set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
