How to Make Classic Almond Peach Cookies: A Step-by-Step Guide

Peach cookies, with their crumbly texture and nutty aroma, are a beloved treat. Here’s a simple recipe to bake them at home.

Ingredients:

- 150g all-purpose flour

- 100g unsalted butter, softened

- 50g powdered sugar

- 1 egg yolk

- 1/4 tsp almond extract

- A pinch of salt

- 20g sliced almonds (for topping)

Steps:

1. Prepare the dough: Cream softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk and almond extract. Gradually mix in flour and salt until a soft dough forms.

2. Shape the cookies: Roll the dough into small balls (about 2cm each). Place them on a baking sheet, flatten slightly, and press almond slices on top.

3. Bake: Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F). Bake for 18–20 minutes until the edges turn golden. Let them cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Tips:

- For extra flavor, add 1/4 tsp vanilla extract.

- Ensure butter is soft but not melted to avoid a greasy texture.

- Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
