Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2/3 cup finely chopped almonds
- 1 tablespoon Chinese five spice powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 16 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Sliced almonds, for garnish
Method
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, chopped almonds, five spice powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add almond extract and milk and beat until combined.
- Add flour mixture to bowl and beat until the dough begins to come together. Dough will be a little dry but you should be able to easily press it together with your fingers. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and let rest in refrigerator one hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Take dough out of refrigerator. Roll dough into 1 inch balls, then flatten between the palm of your hands. Place one sliced almond in the middle of each cookie for garnish.
- Bake cookies until golden, about 12 minutes. Let cool on sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack.
