Cooking Instructions

  1. Sift together in a bowl, the flour, with the other dry ingredients.
  2. After that, add the crushed almonds and granulated sugar. Stir in.
  3. Now cut butter into little pieces, and then add it to the flour mixture.
  4. Combine well using your fingers. Shape the dough in a ball.
  5. Next, put the dough on a lightly floured baking board.
    Roll the dough to a ¼-inch thickness.
  6. Now use your favorite shape cook cutter.
  7. Alternatively, roll a small amount in your palms and then flatten to a regular cookie shape.
  8. Place the cookies on a baking tray.
  9. In a preheated oven set at 350F bake the cookies for 20 minutes. (More or less)
  10. You can sprinkle more powdered sugar on top. But to me, it's delicious plain.
  11. Allow to cool. Almond Cookie is good dessert snack.
