Almond Cookies
(Pastoules)
What You Need:
  • 3 sticks (¾ pound) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
  • 4 eggs, separated and at room temperature
  • 3¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 12 ounces shelled almonds, chopped
  • Confectioners' sugar for dipping
  • 1 cup orange marmalade or raspberry preserves
  • How To Cook:
    1. Preheat oven to 350°.

    2. Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add baking powder and egg yolks, one at a time. When yolks are blended, add flour, 1 cup at a time, blending to form soft dough.

    3. In another bowl, beat egg whites until fluffy but not stiff.

    4. Shape dough into round, flattened balls 1 inch in diameter. Dip each cookie into beaten egg whites and then roll in chopped almonds. Make a groove in the center of each cookie and place on an ungreased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart.

    5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool on the sheet and then dip in confectioners' sugar. Place ¼ teaspoon preserves in the center of each cookie.

    To Make: 45 to 50 cookies
