Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup almond flour/meal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup Nutella-like cocoa almond spread
Instructions
- Cream butter, sugar, and egg in a mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add almond extract, vanilla, all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
- Chill dough for 2–3 hours until firm.
- Roll dough on a floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into shapes, keeping an even number for sandwiching. Chill cut cookies at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Bake cookies 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Spread chocolate–almond filling on one cookie and sandwich with another. Repeat with remaining cookies.
Notes
Fill with raspberry jam, lemon curd, or cookie butter for variations.
Roll the edges of filled cookies in chopped nuts for extra flair.
Add an extra 1/4 teaspoon almond extract for stronger flavor.
Chill dough and cut cookies thoroughly to prevent spreading.
Freeze finished cookies or dough discs for later baking.
