🧂 Ingredients

• ¾ cup +1 tablespoon all purpose flour (at least 11% protein)
• 1 pinch salt*
• ½ cup finely chopped almonds
• ½ cup butter softened
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon almond flavoring

  immediately move to a clean bowl to cool before chopping.

• 3 In the mixing bowl cream the butter, sugar and flavoring for 2 minutes. Slowly
  add the dry ingredients and combine. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30-60
  minutes.
• 4 Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Line 1-2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• 5 Roll the dough into 1 – 1½ inch balls, place on prepared baking sheets about 2
  inches apart. Lightly flatten with a fork top with 2-3 almond slivers. Bake for
  12-15 minutes. Let cool on pan 5-10 minutes then move to a wire rack to cool
  completely. Enjoy!
