Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use unsalted butter and bring it to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help the cookies spread evenly and give them a light, fluffy texture.
  • If you don't have almond flour, you can make your own by grinding almonds in a food processor until they are finely ground. Just be sure to measure the almond flour after you've ground it.
  • The dough will be sticky, but don't add more flour. If you do, the cookies will be dry and crumbly.
  • If you don't have a cookie press, you can shape the dough into balls and flatten them with a fork. Just be sure to make sure they are all about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set and the edges are just starting to brown. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

These buttery almond cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're made with just a few simple ingredients and can be whipped up in no time. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
