Method
 

Make Almond Filling
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour and granulated sugar. Incorporate egg, melted butter, almond extract, and vanilla extract until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Prepare Cookie Dough
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened salted butter and both sugars on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the egg, almond, and vanilla extracts; mix until combined. Gradually stir in flour and baking soda until just combined.
Assemble Cookies
  1. Using a cookie scoop, measure out approximately 2.8 ounces of cookie dough and roll into a ball. For almond filling, shape small amounts into mini balls. Flatten the dough, place a filling ball in the center, seal it, and roll again into a ball.
Bake and Cool
  1. Arrange cookie balls on prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them. Sprinkle tops with sliced almonds, pressing gently. Bake for 17-20 minutes until edges are golden. Cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Final Touches
  1. Once cooled completely, dust cookies generously with powdered sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Ensure the almond filling is chilled before assembling to prevent melting. Don’t overmix the cookie dough, and use a kitchen scale for consistent cookie sizes.
