Ingredients
- 1 stick butter cut into little cubes
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-2 tsp milk
- 1/3 cup flaked almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a tart tin.
- Beat the butter and sugar together until creamy.
- Add the cornstarch, almond flour and flour and mix until combined.
- Add the vanilla extract and just enough milk to bring the mixture together into a dough.
- Press the mix into the prepared tart tin, scattering over the sliced almonds as you do so. Chill for 30 minutes.
- With a small, sharp knife, slice into cookie-sized pieces and bake for about 30 minutes until just starting to brown at the edges and the dough feels firm.
- Leave to cool in the pan, then cut again through the previous slice lines to separate into cookies.
