Number Of Ingredients 13

Cookie
½ cup sugar
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoon milk
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
Filling
1 8 oz can almond paste
1 tablespoon milk
1 egg yolk
½ cup sugar
2 teaspoons almond extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Cream sugar and butter in a large bowl. Mix in egg yolk, milk and almond extract. Blend in the flour a little at a time, until well combined and chunky. Cover an place in refrigerator to cool. In a mixing bowl combine all filling ingredients. Beat until well combined and the mixture comes together. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop balls of the cookie dough. Roll and flatten the balls in the palm of your hand. Take a scant tablespoon of filling (or 5 oz) roll in a ball and place in the middle of the cookie dough. Wrap the cookie dough around the filling and roll until even. Place ball on parchment lined sheet pan and press flat with the palm of your hand. If you want clean edges use a round cookie cutter to clean the edges. Repeat with the remaining dough. Bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on the cookies you don't want them to brown. Let cook on cookie sheet, dust with powdered sugar. Serve.
