Yield about 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 sticks unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for coating
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup almond flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Coarse sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325˚ F. Beat the butter and granulated and confectioners' sugars in a standing mixer until fluffy. Add the egg yolks, almond extract and orange zest and beat to combine. Whisk together the all-purpose and almond flours, the baking powder and salt in a separate bowl; add to the butter mixture and stir to thoroughly combine. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
