Orange Anise Almond Cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ teaspoon anise seed
- zest from 1 orange
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 egg
- 2 egg yolks
- ½ cup almond flour (almond meal)
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons spelt flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- For the almond coating:
- ½ cup sliced almonds, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon anise seed
- zest from 1 orange
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Directions
- Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Using a stand mixer or a bowl with a whisk, beat together the butter, sugar, anise seed, orange zest and almond extract until light and fluffy. Add the egg and egg yolks, mixing until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, spelt flour and baking powder. Fold the dry mixture into the butter mixture with a spatula until just combined.
- In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the almond coating. Use a spoon or small cookie scoop to measure out 1 tablespoon-sized balls of dough, rolling them in the almond mixture to coat evenly before placing them on the cookie sheet, a dozen per sheet. Use your palm to gently press each dough ball into a ½-inch-thick disc before placing the cookie sheets in the oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cookies and almond coating are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool slightly before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
