Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons (115g butter) out of refrigerator for 1 hour
  • 1.25 cup (200g) all-purpose einkorn flour (I use Jovial)
  • 1/2 cup (50g) almond flour
  • 1/2 cup (75g) powdered sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add 8 tablespoons butter, 1.25 cup einkorn flour, 1/2 cup almond flour and 1/2 cup powdered sugar.
  • Mix on low speed until it resembles wet sand (small clumps start to form).
  • Add 3 egg yolks and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix until dough starts to come together.
  • Knead-roll the dough into a ball. If the dough is too wet, sprinkle some flour on your work surface.
  • Cool covered dough in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Then roll the dough out thinly, 1/8 - 1/4" and cut out cookies. Gather the remaining dough again into a ball, and roll it out. Repeat until all dough is gone.
  • Bake at 325ºF for 10 minutes. The cookies might look underdone but they will turn perfect after they cool down on a rack.

Notes

If you like a lot of sweetness, feel free to increase the amount of sugar. I tend to make everything on a less sweet side.
