Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line sheet trays with parchment paper and set aside.
Place the almond meal and brown sugar in the body of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Stir to combine.
3 cups almond meal, 1 cup light brown sugar
Add the eggs, almond extract, and vanilla, stir to combine until a dough forms, scrape the sides as needed.
2 large eggs, 1/4 teaspoon almond extract, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Stir in the sliced almonds.
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Roll the dough into 1.5 tablespoon-sized dough balls.
Place on the sheet tray about 2 inches apart.
Use your hands to gently press down the tops.
Bake for 12-14 minutes until the tops are no longer glossy and they are lightly golden around the edges.
Allow to cool completely on the sheet tray.
Generously dust with powdered sugar, serve.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs so the dough mixes more evenly.
Scrape the sides of the bowl as you mix so the cookie dough forms evenly.
Roll similar-sized dough balls so the first batch bakes evenly.
Press the tops gently so the cookies bake up with an even shape.
Bake until the tops are not glossy and the edges are lightly golden brown, then stop. Overbaking dries them out.
Dust with powdered sugar after they are fully cooled. Also, keep an eye on the kids, because they will try to dust each other too.
