Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
1/4 cup almond flour,
1 & 1/2 cup all-purpose flour,
1 & 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch,
1/2 teaspoon baking soda,
1/2 teaspoon baking powder,
1/2 teaspoon salt
In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
1/2 cup unsalted butter,
2/3 cup granulated sugar
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
1 large egg,
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract,
1 & 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of cookie dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make The Almond Icing
In a medium bowl mix the powdered sugar with the milk and almond extract until you get a thick glaze.
1 tablespoon milk,
1/4 teaspoon almond extract,
2/3 cup powdered sugar
Spoon some glaze on top of each cookie and spread it gently to create a beautiful coating. Top with the sliced almond then allow that glaze to set completely before serving.
2 tablespoons sliced almond
