    In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

    Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.

  5. 5

  1. 6

    Shape the Cookies

    Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    Press a few sliced almonds into the top of each cookie dough ball.

    Bake

    Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

  4. 9

    Cool the Cookies

    Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
