7 Almond Amaretto Snowflake Christmas Cookies Recipes

Classic Almond Amaretto Snowflake Cookies

Almond Amaretto Snowflake Cookies are delightful, festive treats that are perfect for holiday celebrations or any special occasion. With their buttery texture and hints of almond and amaretto flavors, these cookies not only look lovely with their snowflake shape but also taste wonderful. They are ideal for cookie exchanges or simply to enjoy with a warm cup of tea or coffee.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground almonds, and salt. Set this mixture aside as you prepare the wet ingredients.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Egg Yolk and Flavorings: Add the egg yolk, amaretto, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the creamed butter and sugars. Beat on medium speed until fully combined.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Chill the Dough: Wrap the cookie dough in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will help the cookies maintain their shape when baked.
7. Roll Out the Dough: After chilling, flour your work surface lightly and roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a snowflake cookie cutter to cut out shapes.
8. Place on Baking Sheet: Carefully transfer the cookie shapes to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar on top of the cookies for extra sweetness and sparkle.
9. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden around the edges. Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.
10. Cool the Cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Serve or Store: Once cooled, the Almond Amaretto Snowflake Cookies are ready to be served. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Enjoy these delightful cookies, perfect for sharing with friends and family!

Almond Amaretto Snowflake Cutouts With Royal Icing

Almond Amaretto Snowflake Cutouts with Royal Icing are beautifully decorated cookies that make for a festive treat during the holiday season. These cookies feature a delightful almond and amaretto flavor, while the royal icing adds an elegant touch, allowing you to customize the design for any celebration. They are perfect for cookie decorating parties or a sweet addition to your holiday cookie platter.

Royal Icing Ingredients:

Cooking Steps:

1. Make the Cookie Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Beat in the egg, almond extract, and amaretto until well combined.
2. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two parts, flatten them into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.
3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. Roll and Cut the Cookies: Once the dough is chilled, remove one disc from the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thick. Use a snowflake-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Repeat with the remaining dough.
5. Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Make the Royal Icing: In a large bowl, combine the powdered sugar and meringue powder. Gradually add water, mixing until you achieve a smooth, thick consistency ideal for outlining cookies. If using, divide the icing into separate bowls and tint with food coloring. Add more water if necessary to reach a roping consistency for the flooding icing.
7. Decorate the Cookies: Once the cookies have completely cooled, use a piping bag fitted with a small round tip to outline each cookie with royal icing. Allow the outline to set for a few minutes before flooding the centers with thinned icing for a smooth finish. Use a toothpick to spread the royal icing evenly, if necessary.
8. Allow to Dry: Set the decorated cookies aside for several hours or overnight until the royal icing is fully hardened.
9. Serve and Enjoy: Once the royal icing has set, the Almond Amaretto Snowflake Cutouts are ready to serve. Enjoy them as a festive holiday treat or package them up as gifts for friends and family! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
