European Recipe ∘ Sandbakelser I

This is an old Swedish recipe. Use with sandbakelse molds.

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup blanched almonds
• 4 raw almonds
• ¾ cup butter
• ¾ cup white sugar
• 1 egg white
• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Finely grind the almonds in a food processor.
2. In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Mix in ground almonds and egg white. Stir in the flour. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and press into the sandbakelse molds to form a thin coating. Place molds on a baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly before removing from molds. Gently tapping the molds on the counter will help to loosen the cookies.
