Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together ½ cup of softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup of sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of almond extract until fully combined, for about 1-2 minutes more.
  4. Gradually mix in 2 cups of almond flour until a soft dough forms.
  5. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and create a slight indentation in the center of each ball.
  6. Fill each indentation with almond paste, ensuring not too much spills over.
  7. Gently press sliced almonds into the tops of each filled cookie.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar.
