Soft Almond Cookie Recipes

SOFT AND CHEWY ALMOND COOKIES

Steps:

• Combine the butter and sugar and beat on medium speed until well creamed together.
• Add the eggs and almond extract. Mix into butter and sugar until the eggs are well beaten.
• In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and cream of tartar. Slowly add into batter and beat on medium low speed until well combined and dough forms.
• Use a large cookie scoop (3 tbsp) and scoop cookie dough onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Place 5-6 sliced almonds on top of the cookies. Refrigerate the dough for a minimum of 30 minutes, but the longer the better.
• Preheat the oven to 350° F. Place about 2 inches apart and bake at 350° F for 11-13 minutes. Allow cookie to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely

SPRINKLY ALMOND COOKIES

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the middle position of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, sugars and salt until thoroughly combined and creamy. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, whisking to incorporate, then whisk in the almond extract. Add the almond flour and mix to combine using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Add the all-purpose flour and sprinkle in the baking soda. Mix until just combined. (The dough will be stiff.) Fold in the sprinkles.
• Into a bowl with the reserved egg whites, add a splash of water (about 1 teaspoon) and whisk to incorporate. Set aside.
• Using a 1 1/2-ounce ice cream scoop, scoop out a level portion of the dough and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, evenly spacing them apart. Press gently to flatten each dough ball to a healthy 1/2-inch thick. Brush the egg wash on the cookies, then top with additional sprinkles. Bake until lightly golden, begin checking at 12 minutes.
• Let cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes, then cool completely on a rack. Store in an airtight container.

EASY ALMOND BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix all-purpose flour, almonds, butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract in a large bowl until well blended.
• Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

BUTTERY ALMOND COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together flours, cornstarch, baking powder and salt.
• In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and granulated sugar until lightened in color and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in egg yolk and almond extract until combined, about 20 seconds. With the mixer running on low, add flour mixture, beating until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
• Divide dough into two balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a 1 1/2-inch-thick log. (If the dough is too soft to work with, chill it for 20 to 30 minutes before forming it into logs.) Wrap logs tightly in parchment paper or plastic wrap, and refrigerate until very firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
• When you are ready to bake the cookies, heat oven to 325 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Use large, sharp knife to cut each log into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Place cookies 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets.
• Bake until cookie edges and bottoms are golden brown, about 15 to 22 minutes. Cool 5 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Make the icing: In a large bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, melted butter, 1 tablespoon buttermilk, vanilla and almond extracts. If the icing isn't thin enough to drizzle, add more buttermilk. It should be a little thicker than heavy cream.
• Using a fork, drizzle icing all over the cooled cookies, then top with almond slices if you like. Let the icing set for at least 1 hour, then store at room temperature in an airtight container. The cookies will keep for at least 3 days.

CHEWY ALMOND COOKIES

SOFT ALMOND SUGAR COOKIES RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together sugar, butter and shortening until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggs and almond extract and mix just until combined. In a medium bowl, whisk together cake flour, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture and beat on medium speed just until flour is incorporated. Turn dough out onto a large piece of plastic wrap, wrap tightly, place in an air-tight container and refrigerate for one hour or overnight (which is what I did). Roll dough into 2 inch balls, about the size of a golf ball and roll in sanding sugar. Place on baking sheets about two inches apart and bake for 12 minutes, rotating pans and switching racks halfway through. Let cool on pans for two minutes and then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Store in an air-tight container.
