1
Place 200g of softened unsalted butter in a bowl, add 1 cup of powdered sugar, and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined and the mixture turns from pale yellow to a creamy white, fluffy texture. A whisk can be used instead but will take longer.
2
Add the flour, almond powder, salt, baking powder, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, then beat again on medium speed until everything is well incorporated.
3
Gently bring the mixture together by hand into a soft dough, being careful not to knead it, as kneading will make the cookies turn out hard.
4
Take a small portion of dough, shape it into a ball, flatten slightly, and place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Sprinkle some chopped almonds on top for extra flavor and crunch.
5
Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for about 10 minutes, or until the cookies turn light golden brown.
6
Let the cookies cool slightly before handling, as they are soft and fragile straight out of the oven. Once cooled, enjoy the crispy, buttery almond cookies with tea or coffee.
