How to Make Chinese Orange Almond Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly butter two baking sheets.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped almonds, the zest of 1 large orange, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until evenly distributed. Do not overmix.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 1 inch between each cookie.
- Dip your thumb (lightly floured) into the center of each cookie to create an indentation.
- Lightly brush the cookies with 1 beaten egg using a pastry brush.
- Place a whole almond in the center of each indentation.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are puffed.
- Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
