Chai-Spiced Almond Cookies

This sounded like a delicious recipe to try, but alas, I’ve busted my oven. Not sure how I did it, but it’s completely dead. I think it may be the little heat coil, or something else, but I hope I don’t blow my house up, or accidentally gas myself. Anyway, once my oven is fixed, I’m going to make this recipe.

Yield: 22 cookies

Ingredients:

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1-1/3 cups powdered sugar, divided
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
¾ tsp ground allspice
¾ tsp ground cardamom
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
1 cup all purpose flour
¾ cup finely chopped toasted almonds

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Using electric mixer, beat butter, 1/3 cup sugar, both extracts, spices, and salt in medium bowl. Beat in flour, and then stir in almonds.

Using hands, roll dough into tablespoon-size balls. Place on large baking sheet, spacing apart. Bake until pale golden, about 25 minutes. Cool on sheet 5 minutes. Place remaining sugar in large bowl. Working in batches, gently coat hot cookies in sugar. Cool cookies on rack. Roll again in sugar and serve.
