Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sliced almonds, finely chopped
Additional powdered sugar for dusting
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
Mix in the almond extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the finely chopped almonds.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the cookies generously with additional powdered sugar.
