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
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
