Description

These Cinnamon-Almond Butter Cookies are a delightful treat that combines the richness of butter with the warm spice of cinnamon and the nutty aroma of almonds. The dough is tender and crumbly, rolling out easily into strips that bake into golden, crisp-edged cookies. Topped with a sprinkle of toasted almonds and cinnamon sugar, they offer a perfect balance of texture and flavor. Ideal for afternoon tea, holiday gift baskets, or as an elegant addition to any dessert spread, these cookies bring a touch of classic American baking to your table. Simple to prepare with pantry staples, they are sure to become a favorite.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325&# 194;°F (165ðC).
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, softened butter, almond extract, salt, and 1/4 cup of the sugar.
  3. Using a mixer at medium speed, beat ingredients until well mixed and crumbly, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
  4. With your hands, press the dough together to form a cohesive ball.
  5. If the dough is too soft to roll, cover it and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until firm.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough into a 12 x 8-inch rectangle.
  7. Using a pastry wheel or a sharp knife, cut the dough into strips measuring 3 inches long by 1 inch wide.
  8. Transfer the strips to greased cookie sheets, leaving space between them.
  9. Brush the top of each cookie strip with the slightly beaten egg white.
  10. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the ground cinnamon and chopped almonds.
  11. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar-almond mixture evenly over the tops of the cookies.
  12. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  13. Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
