Time 1h20m

Yield 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 pinch salt
2 oranges, zest of, grated
1/4 cup lightly beaten egg
2 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups cake flour
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup raspberry jam
1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur
9 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar, plus
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons honey (heaping)
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 drops fresh lemon juice
2 cups sliced blanched almonds

Steps:

  • Make cookie crust: Using electric mixer, beat butter at medium speed until light. Add sugar, salt, and orange zest; beat until fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Add egg, milk, and vanilla and beat until blended. Add flours and mix at low speed just until smooth. Refrigerate, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 2 hours. Let dough warm at room temperature briefly before rolling out.
  • Lightly butter 15-1/2x10-1/2" baking sheet. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to rectangle slightly larger than baking sheet. Line baking sheet with dough, letting edges hang. (Dough can also be pressed into pan with fingertips.) Refrigerate at least 20 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Trim dough flush with pan. Prick all over with fork. Bake until light golden, 16-18 minutes. Prick any air bubbles with fork.
  • Mix jam and liqueur together and brush over hot pastry.
  • Make topping: Melt butter in heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir in sugar, honey, and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Stir in cream and boil, stirring constantly, until lightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla, lemon juice, and almonds.
  • Very gently spread almond mixture in smooth layer over pastry without disturbing raspberry glaze. Bake until bubbly and golden brown, 17-20 minutes.
  • Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into 1" squares. Store in airtight containers.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter and cream cheese. This will help the dough come together more easily and prevent it from being too crumbly.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just starting to brown around the edges. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These lemon almond cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their bright lemon flavor and crunchy almond topping, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these cookies a try!
