And that’s pretty cool too.
Ingredients
- Almond flour – The original recipe used ground almonds, so today we use almond flour.
It imparts a delicate almond flavor and makes the cookie texture incredible. It literally melts in your mouth.
- All-purpose flour – All-purpose flour provides extra structure. So the cookies aren’t too crumbly.
- Spices and extracts – This recipe uses ground cinnamon and cloves to delicately spice the dough. And vanilla extract adds a lovely deep flavor.
- Salt – Salt adds balance to every dessert. These cookies are no exception. Plus, salt enhances all the flavors.
- Egg – Eggs bind the dough, provide structure and leavening, add moisture, and enrich the dough.
- Butter – Because you can’t have a butter cookie without butter. Butter is a necessary fat that adds flavor, moisture, and structure to the dough.
- Sugars – This recipe uses two types of sugar. You use granulated (white) sugar in the dough. Besides sweetness, sugar also contributes to moisture and structure.
And you use powdered sugar for dusting the cookie.
A dusting of powdered sugar looks like fresh snowfall. And it adds an extra festive touch to these cookies.
