You're making delicious almond butter cookies that are perfect for Easter — they start with mixing dry ingredients and butter into a soft dough that needs to chill for an hour. The fun part is rolling out the dough and cutting it into shapes with egg or animal-shaped cutters (or using a cookie stamp for instant patterns), then baking until they're golden brown, so you'll want to watch them closely in the oven.

Bake

Arrange the cut-out cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake in an oven preheated to 190°C for about 10 to 11 minutes. Keep an eye on your own oven — the cookies should turn slightly darker and golden, but not fully brown.

About this recipe

At Easter, every boy who goes out for the traditional Easter whipping brings back a bag full of treats. This year, Toninka and I made homemade butter and almond cookies. You can cut the cookies with metal or plastic cutters shaped like eggs or little animals, or simply go for plain rounds. Cookies made with a cookie stamp don't need any extra decorating, since they already have a lovely pattern pressed into them. The ones cut with a plain cutter can be decorated with royal icing, just like gingerbread, or with any other favourite icing, such as chocolate.
