Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the flour, ground almonds, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the butter mixture. Mix everything together until a crumbly dough forms. Take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls about the size of a walnut. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie. Gently flatten each cookie ball with a fork. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown. Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
