Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 10 to 12 sandwich cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup (256g) unsweetened almond butter (get one where the only ingredient is almonds)
1 large egg
A good pinch of kosher salt
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
Sprinkles, optional
About 3 tablespoons rhubarb jam

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the almond butter, egg and salt with a stiff rubber spatula. Mix in the sugar. Roll the dough into 1 tablespoon-sized balls and place about an inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten with a fork (these barely spread in the oven) and sprinkle with sprinkles, if using. Bake until set and no longer shiny, about 12 minutes. Let cool completely on the pan.
  • Sandwich the cookies with a heaping 1/2 teaspoon of jam in the center, eat one now, and then let the rest sit for a few hours uncovered at room temperature to allow the jam firm up. Enjoy!

Time 40m

Yield about 2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup coarsely chopped almonds
1/4 cup whole unpeeled almonds
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup confectioners sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Sift the flour over the top, add the salt and the chopped almonds and fold to combine.
  • Pull off little pieces of the dough and roll them into balls about 1-inch in diameter, enclosing a whole almond in the center of each one. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake on the center rack of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until light brown. Transfer to racks to cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, roll 1/2 the cookies in the cocoa powder, and the remaining 1/2 in the confectioners' sugar. Serve warm or return to the rack to cool.

ALMOND SPRITZ COOKIES

A holiday classic found in nearly every cookie box, these almond-flavored treats are buttery, crisp and all too easy to eat by the handful (fear not, this recipe makes a lot). Spritz cookies also keep well, for up to two weeks stored in an airtight container at room temperature. If you don't have a spritz gun, you can use a pastry bag to form them. Or, for more rustic versions, skip the pressing altogether. Chill the dough for an hour, then roll out 1-inch balls, placing them 1 ½ inches apart on the baking sheets, then use a fork to flatten them. A sprinkle of colored sugar makes everything pretty.

Time 1h

Yield 4 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup/225 grams unsalted butter, preferably cultured, softened
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon fine sea or table salt
2 cups/250 grams all-purpose flour
1/4 cup/25 grams almond flour or meal
Decorative sugar or festive sprinkles, for finishing

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a hand-held electric mixer and a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low, add the egg and almond extract, and mix until well-combined and smooth.
  • With speed still on low, gradually add both flours and the salt until just incorporated.
  • Fill a cookie press with dough, or use a piping bag fitted with a decorative piping tip with a large opening (about 1/2-inch). Press or pipe the dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between cookies. Sprinkle cookies with decorative sugar or sprinkles.
  • Bake until firm to the touch and golden brown at edges, 12 to 17 minutes. Transfer sheets to a wire rack to cool slightly, then use a spatula to remove cookies from the baking sheets when they're still warm (which is easier to do than when they've cooled completely).
