CRISPY ALMOND BUTTER THINS (COOKIES)



Crispy Almond Butter Thins (Cookies) image

Crispy, buttery and so delicious! -- plan ahead the dough needs to chill for a minimum of 3 hours or up to 3 days --- the success of this cookie will depend on the quality of butter that you use so purchase the best! Since the dough is very thick I suggest to use a stand mixer for mixing --- for *CHRISTMAS* coat in coloured sugar, also haven't tried it as yet but I plan on adding in some finely chopped candied maraschino cherries or dried fruit to the cookie batter for Christmas, so you might want to give that a try! --- servings is only estimated.

Time 3h15m

Yield 60 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups butter, room temperature (1-pound butter, no substitutes please!)
2 cups white sugar (for a sweeter cookie increase sugar slightly)
2 -3 teaspoons almond extract
2 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
sugar, for coating (optional)

Steps:

  • Using a heavy duty stand mixer cream butter with sugar and almond extract on medium speed until well combined (about 5 minutes or until no sugar granules should remain).
  • Beat in egg yolks until combined.
  • In a small bowl combine the flour with salt until combined; add to the creamed mixture and mix on low speed until combined.
  • Remove to a surface and work the dough using with clean hands until smooth.

  • Set oven to 350°F.
  • Set oven rack to second-lowest position.

  • Place onto lightly greased baking sheet.
  • Bake until lightly browned around the edges (about 12-15 minutes, the cookies will not be crispy if you under bake them).
  • Cool slightly on baking sheet (the cookies will harden even more upon sitting) then coat in sugar.
