    Ingredients

    1 cup (120 g) All-purpose flour
    ½ cup (60 g) Almond flour or finely ground almonds
    ½ teaspoon (2.5 g) Baking Soda
    1/8 teaspoon Salt
    1 stick (½ cup, 60 g), softened Unsalted butter
    1/3 cup (41.6 g) Sugar
    ½ teaspoon (2.46 ml) Almond extract
    2 Large eggs, divided
    8, cut into half KitKat Minis

    Instructions

    1

    Preheat oven to 350F.
    Line a baking tray with
    parchment paper.

    2

    Combine all-purpose
    flour, almond flour,
    baking soda and salt in
    mixing bowl. Stir to mix.

    3

    Combine butter and sugar
    in medium sized mixing
    bowl. Using a hand
    blender or a spatula, beat
    until it is fluffy and lighter
    in colour, about 1 min.

    4

    Add the almond extract
    and 1 egg. Beat again for
    a few sec. until combined.

    5

    Add the dry flour mixture,
    half at a time, beating
    well to combine after
    each addition.

    6

    Scrape out the cookie
    dough from the blades of
    the hand mixer.

    7

    Gently knead and
    combine the dough in the
    bowl until it comes
    together, about 30 sec.

    8

    Divide the dough into 15 -
    16 equal pieces. With
    dampened or lightly
    greased hands, roll each
    piece into a smooth ball
    and place on parchment
    lined tray.

    9

    Press down gently on
    each dough ball to flatten
    it lightly

    10

    Beat remaining egg and
    brush lightly over the
    cookies.

    11

    Bake for 15 mins until
    cookies are slightly puffed up and golden yellow in
    colour

    12

    Remove from oven and
    gently press in a piece of
    KitKat Mini over top of
    each cookie. The warmth
    of the cookie will anchor
    the KitKat pieces into
    place.

    13

    Cool cookies for 10 mins
    in baking tray, then
    transfer to serving platter

    14

    Store extras in an airtight
    container for up to two
