ALMOND LOVE KNOTS COOKIE RECIPE

Prep Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 15 mins Servings: 24

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup almond flour

½ cup confectioners' sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

¾ cup cold butter, cut into small pieces

1 large egg, separated

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon almond extract

3 tablespoons ice water

3 tablespoons turbinado sugar (such as Sugar in the Raw®)

Directions

Blend all-purpose flour, almond flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt together in a food processor. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolk, extracts, and ice water and pulse just until a smooth dough forms.

Turn dough out onto a work surface, divide in half, form into disks, and dust each disk with flour. Wrap disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm and cold, at least 1 hour to overnight.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Roll 1 dough disk out onto a floured surface with a floured rolling pin to 1/8-inch thickness. Use a floured 1 1/2-inch round cookie cutter to cut dough into rounds. Cut out the center of each round with a 1/2-inch floured round cookie cutter to form rings. Repeat with remaining dough disk.

Cut through side of 1 dough ring and slip it around another to intertwine rings, pressing cut pieces together to seal ring. Place interlocked rings on prepared baking sheets.
