INGREDIENTS

FOR TRADITIONAL KOURABIE

450 gr. flour for all purposes

250 gr. DODONI butter

110 gr. powdered sugar

1 tbsp vanilla extract

120 gr. almonds, peeled and roughly chopped

1 tbsp of rose water (optional)

FOR SERVING

150 gr. powdered sugar

1 tbsp of rose water (optional)

PREPARATION

Leave the butter at least 2 hours out of the refrigerator to come to room temperature.
Put the almonds in a baking pan and roast them in a well preheated oven at 180°C for 10 minutes, until they turn golden brown. Then let them come to room temperature.

EXECUTION

Beat the butter in the mixer for 5 minutes until it comes white. Add the powdered sugar and beat for another 10 minutes. The secret of success lies in beating well these 2 ingredients.
Then add the vanilla extract to the mixture, optionally the flower water, the cold almonds and mix with a spatula. Sift the flour into the mixture and mix until you have a mixture that looks like crumbs. Shape round cookies (about 30 gr. each) and place them in a pan with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20 minutes.

Let the cookies come to room temperature.

Then serve them on a plate, spray them optionally with a little rose water and sprinkle them with powdered sugar.
