Finnish Butter Cookies
Delicious butter cookies topped with almond slices
Equipment
- Rolling Pin
- cookie cutter
- plastic wrap
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- ⅓ cup sliced almonds, chopped
- coarse sugar for garnish
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla until creamy and smooth. Stir in the flour and then beat until well mixed. Turn the dough out onto a large piece of plastic cling film, wrap it tightly, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Roll the dough out to 1/4-inch thick on a floured surface. Flour the top of the dough so it doesn’t stick to the rolling pin. Use cookie cutters to cut simple shapes, or roll the dough into a large rectangle and cut it into smaller rectangles.
- Place the cookies on a baking pan, spacing them 2 inches apart. Brush the dough with the egg and sprinkle almonds and coarse sugar over the top.
- Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
