## Ingredients

- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp almond extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 1 shaved, slivered almonds
- 1 cup fine almond flour
- 60 grams granulated sugar
- 0.5 whisked egg
- 21 grams melted unsalted butter
- 0.25 tsp almond extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 powdered sugar

## Instructions

1. Place butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Let the butter melt and then let it cool. Once cool, pour it into a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
2. Mix the butter and sugars on medium speed for about 90 seconds. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Mix on low speed until combined.
3. Sift all dry ingredients into a medium bowl. Whisk the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to your butter and sugar mixture. Mix on low until flour is barely combined.
4. Chill the dough for 24 hours or bake immediately.
5. Make the almond filling by mixing butter and sugar in a medium bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until combined. Make 8–16 balls of the filling and freeze for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
6. Form cookie dough into 12–16 balls. Press a hole into each ball and add a ball of almond filling inside. Mold dough around the filling, and then roll it in the sliced almonds. Place the cookies on baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes.
7. Once cool, top the cookies with powdered sugar.
