Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter (NEVER use margarine for this!)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon cardamom
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 24 whole almonds, skin removed

Directions

    ["Heat oven to 350 degrees.", "Place butter in a large, heavy skillet. Cook over medium-low heat without stirring, about 15 minutes, or until butter becomes a light tan color. Remove pan from heat and allow to cool in a very cool place so butter can become solid again. I will put it out on the covered back porch or inside of the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes, checking often until it solidifies.", "Break up the hardened brown butter with a wooden spoon or spatula.", "In a separate bowl add sugar, flour, baking powder, and cardamom. Mix well and add the browned butter, stirring well with a pastry blender to combine all ingredients. Add vanilla and almond extract.", "NOTE: The dough will be very, very granular. Initially, it will feel like it will not combine but it always does. Scoop enough dough into your hands to form a 1 inch ball and roll it around, allowing the heat from your hands to melt the butter. The dough feels gritty and when each ball is done, it will hold together beautifully and feel less gritty.", "Shape dough into 1\" balls. Place each ball 1\"" apart from other cookies on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Top each with an almond; press down slightly so it lays flat on ball.""
