Ingredients

1 stick Butter, Softened
2-1/8 ounces, weight Sugar
2-1/8 ounces, weight Almond Meal Or Pulverized Almonds
4 ounces, weight All-purpose Flour
1/2 cups Fresh Basil, Finely Chopped
20 slices Almonds, For Garnish (optional)

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2

Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add almond meal and then flour. Mix until completely combined.
3

Finely chop your basil and sprinkle on counter or cutting board. Turn out your dough and roll in the chopped basil. Form dough into a log and cut it into 1/2 inch cookies. (I put my log in the fridge for a little to firm it up before slicing it).
4

Place sliced cookies on parchment paper lined baking sheet. Put a slice of almond on top of each if you like. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until edges of cookies are slightly browned. Transfer to cooling rack.
