ALMOND COOKIES PREPARATION

  • In the bowl of your stand mixer, with the paddle attachment on, cream the softened butter with the sugar for 2 minutes on medium low speed. Scrap the bowl down when necessary.
    4.76 oz butter, 4.41 oz sugar
  • Add the egg and lemon zest. Stir on your lowest setting until mostly combined (1 minute) it will curdle, that's normal. IMPORTANT: Do not over mix.
    1 egg, 1 lemon zest
  • Gradually add the all-purpose flour, almond flour, ground cinnamon and sea salt. Continue to stir on low until combined.
    8.82 oz all-purpose flour, 2.65 oz almond flour, 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon, 1/16 tsp sea salt
  • Scrap the dough onto a cling film. Wrap and refrigerate overnight. NOTE: If rushed by time refrigerate it for at least 3 hours.

ASSEMBLY

  • Take the dough out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes prior rolling it.
  • Place your Large Bonmat on the top of your Large Perforated Baking Sheet. Set Aside.
  • Roll your dough into a large squareI like my cookies 0.40" | 1 cm thick. Cut your cookie dough using your favorite holiday cookie cutter.
  • Transfer your cookie dough onto your Bonmat and brush with the lightly beaten egg.
    1 egg

BAKE!

  • Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Bake for 10 minutes (Every oven heats differently, monitor your cookies from 8 minutes). It is ready when they don't look quite done and barely golden around the edge, the top staying soft.
  • Once your Schwowebredele, Almond Christmas Cookies are out of the oven, let them cool down completely on your baking sheet. When ready, slide them onto a serving plate to share or store them in a tin metal box (They stay fresh up to 3 weeks). Bon Appétit & Happy Holidays!
