Italian Almond Cookies

• 1 cup all purpose flour


• 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon almond flour


• 1/4 cup granulated sugar


• 1 egg yolk


• 1/3 cup + 1 1/2 tablespoon butter* (softened)


• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla**


• *I use salted butter, if you use unsalted then add 1/4
  teaspoon of salt.


• **You can substitute with almond flavouring or use both, if
  you like a stronger flavour add 1 teaspoon.

1. In a large bowl whisk together the flours and sugar then
   make a well in the middle and add the egg yolk, butter and vanilla, mix with a
   fork until almost combined. This dough is also very easy to make with a Food
   Processor.


2. Move to a lightly floured flat surface and knead into a
   compact ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for one hour.


3. Pre-heat oven to 350 F (180C) and line cookie sheets with
   parchment paper.


4. Remove the dough from the fridge and on a lightly floured
   flat surface roll into a 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) thick rectangle, with your favourite
   cookie cutter cut out cookies (I used mini cutters and got a lot of cookies,
   the first photo I used a medium round cutter and I got 15 cookies).


5. Place cookies on prepared cookie sheet and bake for
   approximately 6 minutes (for mini cookies) approximately 8 - 10 minutes for
   larger. Do not let the cookies brown. 
   Let cool on cookie sheet, then dust with powdered / icing sugar.  Enjoy!
