How to Make Almond Cookie Cups

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the almond extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chopped almonds.
  7. Press spoonfuls of the dough into mini muffin tins, forming small cups.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cookie cups cool in the tins for a few minutes before carefully removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cool, fill with your favorite fillings like whipped cream, chocolate ganache, fresh berries, or ice cream.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
