How to Make Almond Softies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon almond extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in ½ cup milk and 1 cup almond filling (store-bought or homemade).
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough (approximately 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
- Roll each dough ball gently into a slightly flattened round.
- Press sliced almonds into the tops of each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
