Butter Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• water as required

For Dough :

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 cup all purpose flour

For Garnishing :

• 1 handful almonds
• 1 handful cashews

Recipe :

• Step 1 Prepare baking equipment & finely chop cashews & almonds

  Preheat the oven at 180 degrees C. Now, place a baking sheet in a baking tray and keep it aside. Chop cashews and almonds into fine pieces.

• Step 2 Mix butter and sugar

  Take a bowl and whisk butter and sugar together. Make sure the consistency is smooth and the mixture is fluffy.

• Step 3 Add both flours, salt & water

  Now, add all-purpose flour into the bowl and whisk again. Then add almond flour and salt in the bowl and mix them well. Use some water and make sure the mixture forms a dough.

• Step 4 Refrigerate the dough and then cut out the cookies

  Then, wrap the dough and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes. Sprinkle some flour on a flat surface and spread the dough onto it evenly with a rolling pin. Now use a knife or cookie cutter to cut the dough into the shape you prefer.

• Step 5 Cover the cookies with chopped almonds & cashews before baking

  Next, add almonds and cashews onto the discs. Now, place the cookies into the baking tray and bake them at 180 degrees Celsius for half an hour. The edges should turn slightly golden. Let them cool and then serve.

Tips :

• You can cover the cookies in sanding sugar before baking for a nice, crunchy texture.
• Since vanilla is the base flavour in this cookie, consider using a pure vanilla extract.
• Use granulated or caster sugar for best sweetness in these cookies.
