A vanilla almond butter cookie recipe with sugar, flour, chopped almonds, butter, vanilla, and an egg.

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup chopped blanched almonds, divided
  • 1 cup butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 egg, beaten

Preparation:

Combine flour, 1/4 cup of the sugar, salt, and 1/2 cup of the almonds in a mixing bowl. Cut in butter until particles are about the size of small peas. Sprinkle with the vanilla and gather mixture into a ball. Handle mixture as little as possible. Wrap dough in waxed paper and chill. Divide dough into 10 equal portions.

On a lightly floured surface, shape portions into thin rolls about 1/2-inch in diameter. Place rolls side by side and cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces. Brush one section with egg. With a spatula, lift up one row; press surface into mixture of the remaining chopped nuts and sugar. Put on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 325° for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove to a rack to cool. Store in an airtight container in cool place or freeze.
Makes 6 to 7 dozen cookies.
