Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and chopped pecans. Mix well and set aside.
-
In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
-
Take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Gently press down on the dough balls with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern on the top of each Moon Rock Cake.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cakes are golden brown.
-
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
-
While the cakes are still warm, dust them generously with powdered sugar for a snowy moon rock effect.
-
Allow the Moon Rock Cakes to cool completely before serving. Enjoy these delightful treats with a cup of hot tea or coffee for a truly magical experience.
