How to make Italian Almond Cookies
Step 1: Place the flour and sugar in a large bowl. Mix well, then create a well in the centre. Add the egg yolk, butter, and vanilla in the middle of the well and stir well using a fork until almost mixed. Or you can make the dough in a food processor.
Step 2: Knead the dough on a lightly floured flat surface into a compact ball, then wrap it with plastic and keep it in the fridge for about an hour.
Step 3: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C. Using parchment paper, line cookie sheets.
Step 4: After an hour, take the dough from the fridge and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a 1/4-inch or 1/2cm thick rectangle. Then, cut out the cookies using your favourite cookie cutter.
Step 5: On the prepared cookie sheet, place the cookies. Place in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for about 6 minutes (if baking mini cookies) or about 8 to 10 minutes for larger cookies. Make sure to not let the cookies brown.
Step 6: Remove from the oven when done and allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet before dusting with powdered/icing sugar. Enjoy!
Note:
You can add a bit of extra tbsp softened butter if the dough turned out too crumbly.
