Rich Toasted Almond Flavor & A Delicate Sweetness

Almond Wine Cookies

These cookies are a springtime favorite in my family.

1/4 pound unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup sugar

2 egg yolks

1/2 tsp anise extract

1 cup unbleached all purpose flour

1/4 cup dry white wine

1/2 cup chopped almonds

1/2 cup slivered almonds



Preheat oven to 375 degrees

In an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light. Add the egg yolks and anise extract. Mix until blended.


On low speed , add flour and wine alternately and mix until blended. Mix in chopped almonds to form a soft dough.

Using a teaspoon, drop dough into the slivered almonds and roll the dough around to coat.

Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet, spacing cookies at least 2 inches apart. Press the tops of the cookies down to flatten a bit.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.

Remove cookie sheet from the oven.
Using a metal spatula, remove the cookies from the sheet pan onto a wire cooling rack. Cool completely.

Store cookies in an airtight container.

But before you do that eat a few. You will love them!!
