Cooking Method

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Beat until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture until a soft dough forms.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into balls.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking tray, leaving about 2 inches between each.
Gently flatten each cookie slightly.
Press a whole almond or sprinkle sliced almonds onto the top of each cookie. Brush lightly with egg yolk if desired for extra shine.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Decorate with chocolate drizzle or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
