Round Petit Cookies

Directions

1. 1
   Let the butter come to room temperature, or you can soften it in the microwave.
2. 2
   Roast the sliced almonds and crush them with your hands.
3. 3
   Preheat the oven to 180C.
4. 4
   Weigh the ingredients in a plastic bag.
5. 5
   Close the bag leaving some air inside, and shake it up and down until the ingredients are all mixed.
6. 6
   Add some vanilla oil and the crushed almonds to the softened butter.
7. 7
   You don't need to use vanilla oil as it is just for flavoring.
8. 8
   Add the ingredients and mix well with your hands.
9. 9
   Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
10. 10
    Shape the dough into bite sized balls and put them on the lined baking sheet.
11. 11
    Bake at 170C for 15~18 minutes.
12. 12
    After that, leave them in the oven for 10 minutes if you are not in a hurry.
13. 13
    They are done when they are light brown.
14. 14
    Cool them on a cooling rack.
15. 15
    They are sweet as they are, but you can sprinkle some powdered sugar if you like.
16. 16
    Here, I added some cocoa powder and matcha to the basic dough.
17. 17
    You can use any type of sugar, but finer is better as I skipped the usual step of creaming the butter and sugar together.
18. 18
    You can do everything in a plastic bag without using a bowl.

    It's so lazy but much easier.
