Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup roasted pistachios, chopped

How to Make Almond Cookies with Whipped Cream

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
3. Add the softened butter and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough comes together. Stir in the almond extract.
4. Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
5. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the whipped cream. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
7. Once the cookies are cooled, top each cookie with a generous dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped pistachios. Serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
• Do not overbeat the whipped cream; stop once you reach soft peaks for the best texture.
• Allow the cookies to cool completely before adding whipped cream to prevent it from melting.

Easy Variations

• Substitute hazelnut flour for a different nutty flavor.
• Add chocolate chips to the cookie dough for a sweet twist.
• Experiment with flavored extracts like vanilla or orange for a new taste profile.

What to Serve With It

• A cup of hot coffee or espresso for a perfect pairing.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
• Fresh berries or a berry compote for a fruity contrast.
