CRISPY ALMOND BUTTER THINS (COOKIES)
Crispy, buttery and so delicious! -- plan ahead the dough needs to chill for a minimum of 3 hours or up to 3 days --- the success of this cookie will depend on the quality of butter that you use so purchase the best! Since the dough is very thick I suggest to use a stand mixer for mixing --- for *CHRISTMAS* coat in coloured sugar, also haven't tried it as yet but I plan on adding in some finely chopped candied maraschino cherries or dried fruit to the cookie batter for Christmas, so you might want to give that a try! --- servings is only estimated.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°
- 2. I use a Kitchen Aid stand mixer & leave it running the whole time I'm putting this together.
- 3. Cream shortening, sugars, and vanilla extract.
- 4. Add beaten eggs, and beat thoroughly. (Just throw them in, don't beat first)
- 5. Stir in peanut butter.
- 6. Combine dry ingredients; stir into creamed mixture.
- 7. Using big scoop, place 6 level scoops on ungreased air bake cookie sheets.
- 8. Press with back of fork dipped in milk to make a crisscross design. Original recipe calls for flour but milk makes it crisper. Refer to picture above. It shows one that is in the ball & the others show how much to flatten.
- 9. Bake at 350° for exactly 14 minutes. Set your timer.
- 10. Remove from oven & let cool on cookie sheet for at least 5 minutes. Then transfer to wire cooling rack until completely cool. I stack these standing up in large air tight container to keep them from weighing heavy on each other.
Tips:
- Use high-quality butter: The type of butter you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies. Opt for a high-quality, unsalted butter that is at least 82% butterfat.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This step is essential for creating a smooth and creamy cookie dough. Make sure to beat the butter and sugar together for at least 2 minutes, or until the mixture is pale yellow and fluffy.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps to firm it up and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven. This will result in a crispier cookie.
- Use a cookie scoop to shape the dough: A cookie scoop will help you to create evenly sized cookies that will bake evenly. If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use a tablespoon to measure out the dough.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them to crisp up and brown. The ideal temperature for baking butter cookies is 375°F (190°C).
Conclusion:
Crispy butter cookies are a classic treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite flavors. With a few simple tips, you can make crispy butter cookies that are sure to impress your friends and family.
