Brandy-infused almond butter cookies inspired by Greek flavors.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.25 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons brandy
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup finely chopped blanched almonds
  • 36 whole cloves
  • 0.33333334326744 cup confectioners' sugar, or as needed
Instructions:
  • Combine the flour and baking powder by sifting them into a bowl.
  • In a mixing bowl, whip the butter until creamy. Slowly blend in 1/4 cup of confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Mix in egg yolk, brandy, and vanilla until airy. Fold in almonds.
  • Mix in the flour mixture little by little until it forms a soft, smooth dough. Cover and refrigerate until the dough is easy to work with, approximately 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (170°C) for the perfect baking environment.
  • Form chilled dough into crescent shapes, spacing them 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Gently press a whole clove into the center of each crescent.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden, switching racks halfway through to ensure even baking. Be careful not to let it brown too much.
  • Take out of the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheets.
  • Sprinkle generously with confectioners' sugar.
