At a glance
You're making buttery almond shortbread cookies that come together quickly with just a few simple ingredients—butter, almond flour, and egg yolks. The main time commitment is chilling the dough overnight (though an hour works too), then you'll roll, cut, and bake these delicate cookies in just minutes. One nice tip: if you're using patterned cutters, a light flour dip helps the design stay crisp in the oven.

Knead and chill
Knead into a smooth, even dough and chill in the fridge overnight (or for at least an hour if you want to bake the same day).

Let the dough soften
About half an hour before baking, take the dough out of the fridge so it can soften slightly.
