Ingredients
Scale
240g super-fine almond flour, I use Bob's Red Mill (2 cups lightly packed)
60g raw cane sugar or golden coconut sugar (1/3 cup)
1 stick butter, room temperature or gently softened NOT melted
1 cold egg
1/2 tsp almond extract
Optional: Pecans for decorative topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF
- Thoroughly combine all ingredients in a bowl.
- Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- Roll dough into 1” balls and place on parchment paper (16 balls).
- Press the balls down either with a spoon (and I placed a pecan in the indentation for decoration) or press them down with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
- Bake 8-10 minutes on aluminum or 11-13 minutes on stainless steel, until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven, reinforce the wells by gently pressing them down again if needed, and let the cookies rest on the cookie sheet for at least 10 minutes because it takes a bit for them to set (they will break apart if moved too early).
