Ingredients for Almond Shortbread Cookies: Butter 50g, Sugar 30g, Egg 1, Almond Slices 50g, Cake Flour 150g.
Steps for making Almond Shortbread Cookies: Step 1: Place butter in a bowl, add sugar and let it sit for 1 hour at room temperature to melt the butter; Step 2: Thoroughly mix the two together; Step 3: Add a whole egg; Step 4: Continue stirring until the egg and butter are well combined; Step 5: Beat on low speed with an electric mixer, this process should last for a while until the butter and sugar are fully integrated, the color lightens, and a fluffy texture is achieved.
This step is crucial as it determines the delicacy of the cookie’s texture. Step 6: Sift cake flour into the well-mixed butter mixture and add almond slices. Step 7: Gently stir with a spatula until the flour and butter are completely mixed to form a dough. Step 8: The dough should not be over-mixed at this point, otherwise, it will develop gluten, making the cookies hard and losing their crispness. Step 9: Place the dough in a piping bag and pipe your desired shapes onto a baking tray. The tray should be lined with parchment paper beforehand to prevent the cookies from sticking. Alternatively, you can refrigerate the dough in a plastic bag and then slice and place on the tray; Step 10: Preheat the oven to around 160-170 degrees Celsius, place the tray in the middle of the oven, and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes. During baking, observe the color of the cookies, and when the edges turn golden brown, they are ready to be taken out. The cookies will be soft when they first come out of the oven, so do not rush to move them; wait for them to cool and they will become crispy and delicious. Step 11: After the almond shortbread cookies have cooled, I couldn’t wait to one taste. The first sensation is the crispness of the cookie, which crumbles in the mouth with a gentle bite, followed by the creamy butter flavor and the sweetness of the sugar spreading on the tongue, while the almond slices bring a unique nutty aroma and a slight chewiness. This combination of texture and taste is truly delightful, with every bite filled with satisfaction. Whether paired with a cup of rich coffee or a cup of refreshing tea, it is an excellent choice.
