How to Make Almond Caramel Shortbreads
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the chopped almonds and caramel.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each ball.
- Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or a fork.
- Sprinkle the tops with sea salt.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the shortbreads cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, optionally drizzle with melted chocolate.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
