Yield 84 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup slivered almonds
1 cup light brown sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature (1 1/2 sticks)
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F
  • Spread the almonds on a rimmed baking sheet and toast, tossing occasionally, until golden, 4 to 5 minutes; let cool. (Or, toast on the stove top in an iron skillet ~ stir constantly til golden. Be careful not to burn them!).
  • In a food processor, pulse ½ cup of the almonds with ½ cup of the brown sugar until the almonds are finely ground. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • With an electric mixer, beat the butter and the remaining ½ cup brown sugar at medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract and beat to combine. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually mix in the flour-nut mixture just until combined (do not overmix). Gently fold in the remaining ½ cup almonds.
  • Form the dough into two 12-by-1½-inch logs. Refrigerate, tightly wrapped, until firm, about 2 hours or up to 2 days.
  • Heat oven to 350° F with the racks in the upper and lower thirds. Working with 1 log at a time (keep the other chilled), cut it into ¼-inch slices and place the slices on 2 baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until golden, 9 to 11 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • Keep the cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

I added a teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter and it gave the almond thins a delicious warm flavor.

I'm allergic to almonds, so I substituted almond flour with oat flour. The almond thins still turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and my almond thins turned out burnt. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These almond thins are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
