Zubereitung von Almond Thins
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread 1 cup whole almonds on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast, tossing occasionally, until golden brown (4-5 minutes). Let cool completely.
- In a food processor, pulse 1/2 cup of the toasted almonds with 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar until finely ground.
- Transfer the almond-sugar mixture to a medium bowl. Stir in 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and the remaining 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Beat in 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract until well combined.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the remaining 1/2 cup toasted almonds.
- Divide the dough in half, shaping each half into a 12x1-inch log. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 2 days.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) with racks in the upper and lower thirds.
- Unwrap one log at a time. Using a sharp knife, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place slices 2 inches apart on two baking sheets.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, rotating baking sheets halfway through, until golden brown.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before storing.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
