Ingredients:
For the Cookie Dough:
- 50g unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 40g powdered sugar
- 1 egg
- 90g cake flour
For the Almond Caramel Filling:
- 20g unsalted butter (melted)
- 10g powdered sugar
- 30g honey
- 20g flaked almonds (slightly crushed)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cookie Dough:
Preheat your oven to 160°C.
In a mixing bowl, cream the room temperature unsalted butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg until well combined.
Gradually add the cake flour and mix until a smooth dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a disposable piping bag and snip of 3mm tip.
2. Pipe the Cookies:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. You can dip cookie shape cutters (3 to 4cm) into flour to create outline/template for easier piping.
Pipe the cookie dough into desired shapes, leaving a space for the filling.
Ensure the outlines are closed to hold the filling.
3. Prepare the Almond Caramel Filling:
Combine the melted butter, powdered sugar, and honey together and mix well.
Finally stir in the flaked almonds.
4. Fill the Cookies:
Carefully spoon the almond caramel mixture into the center of each piped cookie outline. Ensure not to overfill to avoid spilling over the edges during baking.
5. Bake the Cookies:
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden and the centers are set. Watch carefully after 8 minutes as you might be ready or rotate the pan for even baking.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These glass cookies are perfect for special occasions or as a delightful homemade gift. Enjoy the combination of buttery cookie and rich almond caramel!
