Almond Meltaway Cookies

1. Preheat the Oven:

– Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Dough:

– In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.

– Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the almond extract.

– In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking soda, and cornstarch.

– Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

3. Shape the Cookies:

– Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

– Gently press an almond into the center of each cookie.

4. Bake:

– Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

5. Cool:

– Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These almond meltaway cookies are delightfully rich with a delicate almond flavor, making them an irresistible treat that’s perfect for sharing or enjoying on your own.
