Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 300F/150C. Line 1-2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour, ground almonds and salt.
- In a large bowl or mixing bowl beat the butter and sugar until creamy approximately 2-3 minutes. Add the dry ingredients and mix just to combine. Cover the bowl and chill 30-60 minutes.
- Form the dough into golf ball size balls, place on the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten with a fork.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned around the edges. Cool 5 - 8 minutes on the baking sheet, then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle with the glaze if desired before serving. Enjoy!
FOR THE GLAZE
- In a small/medium bowl combine the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla add enough milk until you reach the desired thickness.
Notes
- If you find your dough too dry, then add a bit more butter to bring it together.
- After baking, cool the cookies completely then store in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. You can also freeze baked cookies by wrapping in plastic wrap then storing in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months.
