• Servings: 3
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 egg yolk

Recipe

• in a medium bowl, stir together the flour and sugar. cut in butter until a mealy consistency is reached. add water, almond extract, and egg yolk; mix by hand and knead into a smooth ball. wrap and refrigerate dough for up to 1 hour.
• preheat oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c). roll pieces of dough into 1 inch balls and press down into the cookie molds or small tart molds. press so dough is all of the way up the side of the molds, then prick with a fork to keep them from puffing up and deforming during baking.
• bake cookies for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown. cool cookies in molds on a wire rack for 10 minutes before carefully removing to cool completely.
