Directions

Serving Size: 40 cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Beat shortening, sugar, almond flour, extract and salt together on high speed of electric mixer until well combined, about 3 minutes. Add 1 egg and beat well. Add flour and baking soda and mix until a crumbly dough forms. Roll dough into 1" (2.5 cm) balls and place on prepared baking sheets. Brush generously with beaten egg or yolk (yolk will give a more yellow colour). Sprinkle with almonds and press gently so they stick. Bake in preheated oven 18-20 minutes or until golden. Let set on baking sheets 5 minutes, then remove to cooling rack.
