Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup salted butter, (softened)
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 1/3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup salted mixed nuts
  • 1/2 cup turbinado sugar

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, use a hand-held mixer to beat together the butter and sugar until well incorporated.
  • Next, beat in the egg yolks and almond extract.
  • Lastly, mix in the flour. The mixture will be crumbly at first and might not look like a cookie dough, but keep beating on medium speed and a cookie dough will form. This is not an overly wet dough, so don't be alarmed.
  • Portion two teaspoons of the cookie dough and roll into a ball. Roll the ball into the turbinado sugar.
  • Place the ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently, but firmly, press one nut into the center of the cookie, flattening the cookie as you do so.
  • Bake for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool for 3-5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
