This is a classic Christmas almond shortbread cookie with amaretto.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 teaspoons grated orange zest
- 1 teaspoon amaretto liqueur
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Combine butter, sugar, orange zest, amaretto, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl; beat using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. With mixer on low speed, add flour and mix until a dough starts to form. Mix in almonds using a spatula. Form dough into a log and freeze for 40 minutes, then place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Step 3
Shape dough into small balls and flatten slightly. Place balls 1-inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until edges are golden, about 12 minutes.
Step 4
Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
