Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of almonds
- 1 cup of rolled oats
- 1/2 cup of 82% butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the egg, sugar, and butter until light and fluffy.
- Use a blender to finely grind the almonds into small pieces, or crush them with a rolling pin.
- Add the ground almonds, rolled oats, flour, cinnamon, and baking powder to the creamed mixture and stir until well combined.
- Form the dough into small balls, each weighing about 60 grams, and place them spaced apart on a baking sheet.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for 15-18 minutes. The cookies might seem too soft initially but will crisp up beautifully on the outside while remaining soft on the inside once cooled.
