At a glance

You're making delightful butter-almond cookies that are perfect for Easter celebrations — the kind that kids bring home in bags from door-to-door traditions. The dough comes together quickly, but it needs an hour in the fridge to firm up before you can cut it into festive shapes. The baking itself is fast (just 10-11 minutes), though you'll want to watch closely so the cookies turn golden but not brown.

1/5

Mix the dry ingredients

Combine the flour with a pinch of salt and the baking powder. Stir in the sugar and ground almonds.
Ingredients
- 350 gram Medium-Fine Wheat Flour
- 3 gram Salt
- 5 gram Baking Powder
- 50 gram Sliced Almonds
- 140 gram Powdered Sugar
2/5

Add the butter and egg

Add the softened butter and egg to the dry ingredients. Work everything into a soft dough that shouldn't be sticky. Wrap the finished dough in plastic film.
Ingredients
- 125 gram Vegetable Fat, Butter Flavor
- 2 piece Chicken Eggs
- 5 gram Vanilla Extract
3/5

Let it rest

Leave the wrapped dough to rest and firm up in the fridge for an hour.

4/5

Roll out and cut the shapes

Dust your work surface with a little flour and roll the dough out into a sheet about 0.5 cm thick. Cut out shapes from the sheet, or decorate with a cookie stamp.
5/5

Bake

Arrange the cut-out cookies on a baking sheet 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 just lightly golden, not fully browned.

About this recipe

At Easter, every boy who goes around for the traditional Easter whipping brings home a bag full of treats. This year, Toninka and I made homemade butter-almond cookies. You can cut the cookies out with metal or plastic cutters shaped like eggs or little animals, or simply use plain round cutters. Cookies made with a stamped cutter don't need any extra decorating, since they already have a pretty pattern pressed into them. The ones cut with a plain cutter can be decorated with royal icing, just like gingerbread, or topped with any icing you like — chocolate works beautifully too.
