Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup tapioca starch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, tapioca starch, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg yolk, almond extract, and vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until a smooth dough forms. If using food coloring, add it now and mix until evenly distributed.
  5. Fill a cookie press with dough according to manufacturer's directions and press cookies onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1 inch apart.
  6. Decorate with colored sugar or sprinkles if desired.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are just barely golden. Do not overbake.
  8. Cool on baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
