How to Make Dutch Almond Cookies Amandel Koekjes

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup almond paste until evenly distributed.
  7. If the dough is too stiff, add 1-2 teaspoons of water, one at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  8. Fold in ½ cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans).
  9. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto a greased baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
