Instructions
Prepare dry ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Pro tip: Ensure almond flour is finely ground for a smoother texture.
Cream butter and sugar
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Pro tip: Softened butter mixes more evenly with sugar.
Add wet ingredients
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pro tip: Use room temperature egg to prevent curdling.
Combine wet and dry ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pro tip: Overmixing can lead to dense biscuits.
Chill the dough
Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Pro tip: Chilled dough holds its shape better during baking.
Preheat oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pro tip: Ensure oven is fully preheated before baking.
Shape and bake biscuits
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough, roll into balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the palm of your hand. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Pro tip: Leave space between cookies to allow for spreading.
Cool and serve
Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Pro tip: Cooling on a rack prevents sogginess.
Tips & Tricks
- Use fresh almond flour for the best flavour.
- Ensure butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Chill the dough to prevent spreading while baking.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
