Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour 5.5 oz/ 150 g, Note 1
- 1 ¼ cup ground almonds 5.5 oz/ 150 g, Note 2
- ¾ cup granulated sugar 2.5 oz/ 75 g
- ¾ cup unsalted butter very cold 6 oz/ 175 g, Note 3
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons icing sugar optional
Instructions
- Make cookie dough: Place flour, ground almonds, sugar, cubed butter, and vanilla extract in a food processor or stand mixer. Mix shortly until the dough starts to come together. Turn the dough onto the working surface and press together into a disc. Don't knead, work quickly.1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour / 150 g + 1 ¼ cup ground almonds / 150 g + ¾ cup granulated sugar / 75 g + ¾ cup unsalted butter/ 175 g + ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Divide the dough into three parts, and form each portion into a thick roll, about 1 inch/ 2.5 cm wide. Wrap each roll in cling film and refrigerate for about 2 hours. The dough can be refrigerated for longer (overnight) as well.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/ 180°C (fan oven 320°F/ 160°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a fan oven allows you to bake two trays of cookies simultaneously. Keep the dough not being baked refrigerated until it’s ready to go into the oven.
- Cut the dough rolls into slices about 0.3 inches/ ¾ cm thick. Place the pieces on the baking sheets and gently press down the top of each cookie with a fork to make a small crisscross pattern.
- Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes or until slightly golden.
- Leave them to cool completely on the baking sheets; they will break if you try to move them too fast. Sprinkle with icing sugar if desired.1-2 tablespoons icing sugar

Notes
- Use a digital kitchen scale in baking (the Amazon affiliate link opens in a new tab); it guarantees the best results.
- Use ground almonds, not almond flour. Ground almonds (almond meal) are whole almonds that have been finely ground into a coarse, grainy consistency. Do not use almond flour for this recipe.
- Margarine can be used as a substitute for butter in this recipe, but it might slightly alter the taste and texture. Using margarine makes the eggless almond cookies vegan.
