Almond Cookies

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup butter, softened
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup ground almonds
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons amaretto liqueur
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Using an electric mixer in a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in ground almonds, egg, and amaretto until combined, then gradually add flour until the dough comes together. Drop spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 8 minutes, until lightly browned. Leave on the sheets to cool for 2 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
