Almond Vanilla Cookies image

Don't let all the vanilla scare you away. These are excellent cookies. Very nutty and delicately sweet. A fine finish to a heavy or spicy meal. To add a unique taste substitute the vanilla with 1 tablespoon of gin. The original recipe stated that. I have never tried it.

Time 35m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 2/3 cups ground almonds (use food prosessor but be careful as you don't want to end up with paste)
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract
36 whole almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° and cover 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together chopped almonds, flour, baking powder and salt, set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in extracts Mix in flour mixture until well blended Beat until thoroughly combined.
  • Form dough into 36 balls and place a whole almond in center of each ball.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown, check after 15 minutes as I found I needed to turn the temperature down for the second batch.
  • Note: I baked my second batch at 325° but it could just be my oven that runs hot.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these cookies turned out really flat. They didn't have much flavor either.

Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for me. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies turned out too dry. I think I might have overbaked them.

These cookies are a little bland for my taste. I think they could use a little more almond extract.

I'm not a huge fan of almond, but these cookies were surprisingly good! The vanilla flavor really shines through.
